Ben’s Pickups: 5 String "1960's Vintage" Jazz Bass Set
INFLATION PRICE DROP!
You don't see this every day!
We know how we all love to improve our instruments by adding this and that. I am dropping the prices on all our products a little bit to help out so you can all continue to work to improve your instruments playability and tone. It's not a ton but every little bit of savings helps.
Our 5 String "1960's Vintage" Jazz Bass Set Capture the definitive "golden era" tone of the early 1960s. This hand-wound set is engineered to deliver the warm, punchy, and woody character that defined the original Jazz Bass. Whether you're looking for a deep neck-thump or that famous bridge-position growl, this set provides the clarity and soulful response that modern mass-produced pickups often miss.
The Tonal Profile-Low End: Full and round with a natural "woody" resonance. They offer a clarity you don't find in a lot of other pickup brands along with Punch and a deep bottom end.
- Mids: Strong and present—perfect for achieving that classic J-Bass "growl."
- Highs: Sweet and musical, providing clear note definition without being harsh.
- Overall Feel: Highly responsive to your playing dynamics, offering a rich and expressive character.
Technical Specifications-Crafted with premium materials and a meticulous winding process, these pickups maintain exceptional string separation and vintage-correct output levels.
- Magnets: Alnico 5
- Output (DCR): * Bridge: ~8.6K
- Neck: ~7.8K
- Winding: RWRP (Reverse Wind, Reverse Polarity) for hum-canceling performance when both pickups are Wax potted for squeal-free operation even in high-volume settings.
Handmade Quality With years of pickup winding experience, I wind every set here in the small town of Milton, North Carolina. These aren't mass-produced; they are hand-guided and tensioned to ensure the "soul" of the pickup remains intact.
Lifetime warranty against defects. Replacement or rewind/repair only if it isn't the tone signature you were wanting, we don't do any refunds.
27 years of winding experience behind everything we wind.
We don't offer covers at this time. Due to increasing costs and availability it's not a viable option at this time. Plus it helps keep our pricing affordable. If you absolutely need covers due to this being a new setup in a bass i can drop ship a set to you. Please specify if they are needed.
