Description
The Quarter Pound name has always meant one thing on a Jazz Bass: fat, aggressive pull from those chunky quarter-inch alnico 5 rod magnets. This 5-string set takes that same recipe and stretches it to cover the extra low string without losing the punch that made the original famous.
- Quarter-inch diameter alnico 5 rod magnets for a strong, focused magnetic pull
- Custom overwound coils raise output while keeping string-to-string sensitivity intact
- Vintage-flavored top end paired with a hotter, more aggressive front end than a standard J pickup
- Neck pickup wound RWRP, so bridge and neck together cancel hum
- Forbon flatwork construction, vacuum wax potted to shut down microphonic squeal
- Black covers included
- Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA
What you get in practice is a set that hits harder without turning to mush – the overwound coils give you the push of a hot pickup, but the alnico magnets keep the attack articulate and detailed rather than compressed. It’s the sound of a Jazz Bass that means business, extended out to five strings for players who need the low B covered without sacrificing any of that signature QP snarl.
