Fender Basses have defined the electric bass since its invention. Fralin’s Jazz Bass and P-Bass replacement pickups offer a loud, clear, and even response to four string bass players. Using Alnico 5 magnets and 42 gauge Heavy Formvar wire, they are all hand wound to vintage specifications. Under or over winding is available upon request (special order) as is a steel-poled version of either pickup (special order).
Here's what Bass Player Magazine had to say about Lindy's Jazz pickups:
"We got the Jazz Bass ready for our test by slapping on a fresh set of stainless steel round wounds (.040-.100) and plugging it into our reference rig with everything set flat. The original pickups, while exhibiting plenty of punch and growl for which Jazz Basses are noted, left something to be desired in the low end, requiring an EQ boost to round out the sound. And they were microphonic. With the Fralin pickups, the change in the tone of the bass was striking - and entirely positive. The Fralins had all of the mid-range punch of the stock set, but they provided considerably more warmth on the bottom, more clarity and "sparkle" in the high end, and more output. They were evenly balanced across the strings - and they weren't microphonic. In short, with the Fralin pickups the '65 Jazz Bass retained it's vintage character but became even more lively and musical."
