Custom Gold J-Bass

This Model J is loaded with the most unique P/J pickup combination you will find anywhere. The neck position sports a standard Seymour Duncan 1/4 Pound pickup which has the characteristic loud, punchy and modern sound you would expect. I really wanted a matching 1/4 jazz bass pickup for the bridge position, but the problem is that Seymour Duncan doesn't make a hum-cancelling version of the 1/4 pound pickup. They certainly manufacture hum-cancelling j-bass pickups, but none with the 1/4 pound pole pieces, so I had to get one specially made from the custom shop. The custom shop really liked this idea and may consider offering this pickup as a standard model.

This bass features a gold metallic color reminiscent of the Gibson "gold tops" and is clear coated in Nitrocellulose Lacquer. The j-bass wiring harness features a master volume, master tone and a blance control to blend the neck and bridge pickups.
