Description
Before you can bend the rules, you need the original grammar — and that’s exactly what this split-coil humbucker gives you. Fender built it as a faithful recreation of the ’62 P Bass pickup, so you get the same fat, punchy low end and articulate top that made this the default bass tone for decades of recorded music.
- Enamel-coated magnet wire keeps the tone warm and vintage-correct rather than sterile
- Flush-mount polepieces even out the response across all four strings, no dead spots
- Alnico 5 magnets sharpen focus and add extra dynamic snap to your attack
- Cloth output wire and fiber bobbins built to period-correct spec, inside and out
- Black pickup covers included
Numbers-wise, this pickup reads 10.5k ohms DC resistance with an output rating of 5 bass / 5 mid / 4 treble — a balanced, slightly bass-forward voice that still cuts through a mix.
Everything you need to drop it straight into your P Bass is in the box: mounting screws, height-adjustment tubing, a wiring harness, and a wiring diagram so you’re not guessing at connections. Whether you’re restoring a vintage build or just chasing that original P Bass growl in a modern instrument, this pickup gets you there without reinventing anything that didn’t need fixing.
