Description
Before the split-coil P-Bass pickup became the standard, Fender’s original bass ran a single coil design lifted straight from the Telecaster world. The Antiquity single coil recreates that pickup down to the details, giving you a throatier, more vocal low-end character than the split-coil setup most players are used to.
- Four alnico magnets deliver the traditional single coil pull and tone, with south magnet polarity
- Coil wound with plain enamel magnet wire, then wrapped in wax-coated string for period-correct protection and a slightly aged feel
- Classic cloth push-back hookup wire for an authentic vintage look and easy soldering
- Wrapped in vintage-style string rather than a molded cover, staying true to the original construction
- Mounts by screwing directly into the body cavity, matching the height adjustment method of vintage P-Bass single coils
Specs: top pickup length 2.875″, width .770″; bottom pickup length 3.332″, width 1.00″; total pickup height and magnet height .625″; DC resistance 7.30K ohms; inductance 2.83 henries; Q of 2.43. This unit is calibrated, with top coil winding direction noted for correct output balance.
If you’re chasing the growl and snap of early Fender basses rather than the punch of a modern split-coil, this Antiquity single coil delivers that vintage single coil P-Bass voice with genuine period specs.
