The Eternal Timeless '64 Jazz Bass Pickup Set is a faithful recreation of the legendary mid-'60s Jazz Bass sound, delivering the deep, warm lows, scooped mids, and crisp, articulate highs that defined an era.
With a DC resistance of 8.6k ohms in the bridge and 8.2k ohms in the neck, these pickups provide vintage-correct output, ensuring that every note rings clear, punchy, and dynamic, just like the originals.
Whether you’re laying down smooth Motown-style grooves, walking through jazz lines, or digging into aggressive rock and funk, the Timeless '64 pickups respond with exceptional clarity and touch sensitivity—allowing your basslines to breathe and sit perfectly in the mix.
True to the Golden Era of Jazz Bass Tone
Designed to capture the exact feel and response of a great 1964 Jazz Bass, the Timeless '64 pickups are scatter-wound by hand, using Heavy Formvar coil wire, just like Fender’s original early-'60s designs.
This results in rich, deep lows, a sweet, open midrange, and sparkling high-end clarity, all with the classic scooped character that made the early J Basses so iconic.
The hand-selected Alnico 5 magnets ensure tight, well-defined bass response, giving the bridge pickup a slightly aggressive bite, while the neck pickup stays warm and full, perfect for classic Jazz Bass-style articulation.
