These 5-String Jazz Bass pickups capture the tone, feel and articulation of a great ’62 Jazz Bass. We harnessed the warmth, subtle aggressive attack, mid range growl, and the J-tone that sits just right and voiced it to go lower than before.
Why should we limit amazing tone to 4 strings? We adjusted the coil geometry and winding configuration to compensate for the different nature of extended range instruments. It’s now possible to capture the subtle characteristics of traditional “J-tone” all the way down to the low “B.”
These pickups feature the cover size of traditional Fender 5-string Jazz basses. If you have one of the modern Jazz V models, use the 67/70 model for the proper fit. Comes with black covers. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the 70/74 5-string Jazz Bass single coil pickups use hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, Forbon flatwork, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal free performance. |
