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).
The split Jazz is constructed with two separate short coils (like a P-Bass pickup), with both coils contained in a stock Jazz cover. This results in a hum-canceling pickup. While Lindy has done everything he can to maintain the vintage voicing, the hum-canceling feature comes at the expense of a little of the high end, although this is subtle. Every effort has been made to voice these so that they're as close to true single coils as possible.
Bass Player Magazine loved Lindy's stock Jazz pickups, saying this about them:
"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."
If single coil hum is a problem for you, then this might be just the option you've been looking for!
