Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q: Will this fit my 5-string Squier or Fender Jazz Bass?
  A: This set is designed for standard modern 5-string J-Bass routes. However, as 5-string dimensions can vary, we highly recommend measuring your existing pickups to ensure a perfect fit.
• Q: Is this set hum-canceling?
  A: Yes. The set is RW/RP (Reverse Wound, Reverse Polarity). When both pickups are on at equal volume, they cancel 60-cycle hum for quiet performance, a classic Jazz Bass feature.
• Q: How does this set handle the low B-string?
  A: It is specifically voiced with Alnico 5 magnets and a calibrated wind to ensure the low B-string is tight, clear, and balanced with the other strings, avoiding muddiness.
• Q: What potentiometers and capacitors should I use?
  A: For a balanced and clear J-Bass sound, we recommend standard 250kΩ pots and a 0.047μF capacitor.
• Q: Are these pickups wax potted?
  A: Yes, they are fully wax-potted to prevent unwanted microphonic feedback, making them reliable for both stage and studio use.
