Modern Jazz BassA slightly higher wind, combined with AlNiCo 5 magnets gives a tighter, punchier, more aggressive tone, perfect for rock or slap playing. Both positions use 42awg poly wire, with the neck coming in at approximately 10. 5k and the bridge 10. 9k. Available with or without black covers. As standard these pickups are lightly wax potted to allow a more open and detailed sound, but reduce the chances of any unwanted microphonic feedback.
