Vintage correct Jazz Bass single coil pickups (SJB-1) made to look and sound like the originals.
When the Jazz bass was introduced, the music world was rocked yet
again by fantastic new tone and options for a progressing bass
community. These pickups are a faithful recreation of the Jazz Bass
single coils of the early 60s. Our Vintage Jazz Bass pickups stay true
to the originals by capturing that warm tone with just the right amount
of midrange.
The neck model is full sounding, and brings in a nice, rich bottom
end without being boomy. It is wound RWRP so that it will hum-cancel
when used together with the bridge pickup. The bridge model is smooth
and punchy and delivers a brightness that is a perfect balance for the
warmer neck model. These pickups are drop-in replacements for any
American Standard Jazz Bass.
Since 1978, we’ve been hand building all of our vintage Fender style
single coil pickups with the right color and thickness of Forbon
flatwork, along with the period correct hand ground alnico 5 rod
magnets. Each pickup comes complete with waxed and tinned cloth pushback
hook-up wires. We hand file the flatwork, assemble, and lacquer the
bobbin just as it was done during Fender’s Golden Age. Both pickups come
with black, non-logo covers.
