Been waiting for a bass
pickup that sounds like a vintage J Bass pickup and cancels hum? Your
wait is over. Bass pickups are usually described with aggressive terms
such as “amazing punch” and “thundering lows”, but that’s not the sound
of vintage J Bass pickups. They’re all about warmth, sustain, and a
clean, singing tone. The Area J™ captures all of those qualities. It is
not loud, but it has a very focused attack, so it has power where it
counts – at the center of the tone. The lows are very clear and clean,
and the highs are both smooth and open-sounding. We’ve reduced the
magnet-pull, and included 4-conductor wiring to allow both series and
parallel humbucking modes.

neck and bridge pickup cavities of two different sizes. Some current
basses use the same length pickup in both positions. Please refer to
