From the Custom Shop, this pickup revives the character of Fender's first bass pickup from 1951 while updating it. The goal: to preserve the vintage "original P-Bass" tone while adding a noiseless design and modern stability for both studio and stage use.
Ideal for rock, blues, country, or funk bassists who want the Tele '51 tone with minimal noise. Perfect as an upgrade for a Telecaster Bass/Precision '51, for luthiers and musicians demanding natural dynamics and clear reproduction.
The "stacked" design stacks two coils to cancel hum while retaining the attack of a single coil. The Alnico V provides definition and controlled sustain. The passive electronics preserve your instrument's response, while the 4-conductor wiring facilitates splitting, series/parallel, and other configurations. The black finish without logo blends discreetly, and the wax potting ensures stable performance at high volume.
