Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
- Q: Will this fit my Squier or Fender Jazz Bass?

- Q: How does this differ from a ‘70s vintage pickup?
- A: This set utilizes a modern-vintage wind for added punch, clarity, and a tighter low-end response compared to the softer, more compressed voicing of typical '70s winds.
