Bass Guitar Pickups

Using our own vintage correct fibre board flat work and Alnico V magnets, the '51 Flat Pole P single coil is an accurate reproduction of the first Precision Bass pickup. With its characteristic bright tone, the 42 AWG plain enamel scatter-wound coil produces a dynamic feel with the extended frequency response of a true single coil

Towards the end of 1952 the Tele bass pickup design was changed slightly to incorporate staggered magnetic poles. The '52 Stagger P adopts those same principals and partnered with a slightly lighter wind, produces an even brighter tone with tighter bass and more cut in the highs.

As the Precision bass evolved the early Tele bass single coil was replaced with a split coil, humbucking design in 1957. The '58 Split Coil P is based on the slightly later split coil design with flat profile, hand bevelled, Alnico V magnets arranged across two coils with opposing wind direction and magnetic polarity to cancel out hum.

Hand-wound with 42 AWG Heavy Formvar wire to the original spec, the '60 HF J Bass coils recreate the sought after 'stack pot' tone of those first HF wound Jazz bass coils. Low notes are firm and high notes have a positive attack with a bell-like ring; blend both coils together for a deep and warm vintage J Bass tone with full hum-cancelling.

The bottom-end is extremely defined with fast response to playing dynamics; mids are punchy and solid while the highs are clear with vowel-like reproduction. Both coils blended together allow for full hum-cancelling as the neck coil is RWRP and hookup is vintage correct black and white cloth 'push back ' to complete the vibe.

Grey fibre board flat work, non bevelled Alnico V magnets and a lighter wind of 42 AWG plain enamel wire characterise this mid '60s inspired split coil set. A brighter high-end but equally solid bottom-end make the'65 Split Coil P perfect for rosewood board P basses.

Designed for maximum tonal versatility, the Jazz-Plus is the perfect passive pickup for your Jazz-Bass. Roll-off the tone and hit the bridge pickup for fat "Jaco" inspired tones, or open up all controls and find enough punch, harmonics and clarity for some serious slap-work.
