Some modern 5 string basses are using Fender J-Bass* pairs of equal length (both pickup bodies Long / Treble) Please check for this possibility when ordering 5 string J-J pickups. We make this option and often have them on hand - checking will save time.

59J1 pair- These hum-canceling duel in-line coil designs - The 59J1 has a bright Neck tone and deep Bridge tone. The #1 windings yield much more "growl" from the Bridge pickup. They are very similar in tone to our old 94J 4 string pickups, just ever so slightly brighter at the bridge.
List Price: $187USD/pair

59J1 - L (long / treble) Just the Bridge pickup for use with one of our P-Bass* pickups (models 58S or 58SU) as a P-J pair.

Naming of 5 and 6 string non-Fender type bass pickups

  For both the Original and Classic Bass Series 5 and 6 string pickups, if the first 2 or 3 characters are numerals they specify the string width in millimeters
  If the first 2 characters are the prefix "xx" (extended width), then the pickup will work well with a wide range of string widths if the fingerboard radius is 16" or more (low curvature fingerboards)
  Some Classic Bass Series pickups have string widths specifications. Those which don't will work well with a range of string widths specified in the Price List.
  The next 2 characters specify the shape (BB, BC, P2, M4, M5, etc.)
  The next numeral is the number of strings
  next 1 or 2 characters specify magnets and coil windings
  example 1: 72BC5C is a 5 string BC shape deep tone soapbar pickup for 72 mm string width
  example 2: P25CBC is a Classic Bass 5 string P2 soapbar shape dual coil pickup
  example 3: 74P25CBC is a Classic Bass 5 string dual coil pickup
  example 4: 90P46CBC is a Classic Bass 6 string dual coil pickup for 90 mm string width

Matched Pairs: adding "T" or a "B" to the pickup name specifies Treble (bridge position) or Bass (neck position).
Example: P25CBC-T and P25CBC-B are a matched pair of: P2 soapbar shape, 5 string, dual coil pickups.
