About the McNelly J-Bass pickups
Inspired by the early Jazz Bass tone that's full and punchy with great string definition. The bridge is wound with a little higher output making it more usable on it's own.
They're available for both 4 string, and 5 string Jazz Basses, and also available individually for either the 'neck' position, or 'bridge' position pickups. As standard they are provided with black covers.
Nerdy specs
Type - Passive
Wire type - 2 wire
DCR neck - 7.65k (4 string)
DCR bridge - 8.85k (4 string)
Magnet direction - Neck pickup South up, bridge pickup North up
Coil direction - Neck pickup Clockwise, bridge pickup Counter-clockwise
Recommended wiring - McNelly Pickups recommend 250k pots, and a 0.022uF capacitor, but you could also pair it with a 0.047uF if you prefer a slightly warmer vintage tone and response.
Will it fit my Bass?
This Jazz bass pickup is designed and made to match traditional Jazz Bass size and mount. It is intended for traditional mounting via screws into the body, and adjustment via sponges underneath the pickup(s).
What's included?
Inside the box you'll find the pickup you have ordered along with your mounting screws and height adjustment sponges.
Installation
This pickup is traditional 2 wire as standard (Gavitt cloth 22awg wire, usually off-white for hot and black for ground). If by chance you aren't comfortable installing these pickups yourself, and are local to the Home of Tone, then I offer professional in-house installation. If you are installing them yourself, then I am of course here for any installation advise too.
Wiring to match?
If you're considering replacing your wiring alongside this set of pickups, then don't forget that I also offer my 'Signature Series' range of pre-wired kits, which include Jazz Bass options. You can check out the bass kits available HERE
