- These are single coil units with strong lows and low mids. When used together they will have very low hum and noise levels. The tone of these pickups is deeper than vintage pickups; their strength is in the lows and low mids. The Neck and Bridge coils are equal as in the original Fender pair. Using either Neck or Bridge pickup alone will result in some hum and noise. -Our single coils are quieter than traditional single coils but not quiet enough to be recommended for use with electronics.
9SU- pair S/L
List Price: $153USD/pair.
9J1 - pair S/L split coil construction for hum canceling -deep tone - strong lows and low-mids
List Price: $153USD/pair.
Dealers

These are hum-canceling duel in-line coil designs.

The 9J1 has bright Neck tone and deep Bridge tone. The #1 windings yield much more "growl" from the Bridge pickup. They are very similar to our old 94J pickups, just ever so slightly brighter at the bridge.
9J1 - L (long / treble) Just the Bridge pickup for use with one of our P-Bass* pickups (models 8S or 8SU) as a P-J pair. Order the #1 option as 9J-L1
