- Chasing classic '60s J Bass growl and midrange
- Players who blend both pickups for the scooped J sound

- Anyone unwilling to solder or pay for installation
- P Bass, five-string, or non-J routed instruments
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Single-coil design
Open, articulate tone with more string detail than a humbucker. Also picks up hum when soloed.
Detail 03
'60s voicing
Warmer and rounder than modern high-output pickups. Emphasizes midrange growl over deep scooped lows.
Detail 04
Custom Shop build
Hand-wound spec line. The reason to pay more is the winding and magnet recipe, not extra output.
Detail 05
Passive pickups
No battery, no preamp. Output level depends on your amp gain rather than onboard boost.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Installation requires soldering; no pots, wiring harness, or knobs included
- 02Sized for standard Jazz Bass routes — measure your pickup cavities first
- 03Single-coils hum when one pickup is soloed; both blended cancels most of it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my Jazz Bass?
They're built to standard J Bass dimensions. Measure your neck and bridge routes first — the two pickups are different lengths and are not interchangeable.
02Do I need new pots or wiring?
Not included here. Existing pots and harness will work if they're in good shape, though many players replace them at the same time.
03Are these noiseless?
No. These are traditional single-coils. Hum drops sharply when both pickups are run at equal volume, and returns when you solo one.
04How much output do they have?
Vintage-level, not hot-rodded. Expect period-correct output that cleans up well and responds to your playing dynamics.
