The Eternal "Timeless P-Style Bass Pickup" is our faithful recreation of the golden-era split-coil bass sound - delivering the full, punchy lows, warm midrange and articulate attack that have defined countless legendary recordings.
With a total DC resistance of around 10kΩ, this pickup captures the deep fundamental thump, harmonic richness and dynamic response that made the Precision Bass® the backbone of rock, blues, funk and soul.
Whether you’re laying down fat, supportive grooves or pushing through a dense mix with articulate attack, the Timeless P-Style pickup delivers the warmth, authority and clarity players expect from a great vintage design.
Classic Split-Coil Punch & Vintage Response
Inspired by early split-coil bass pickups of the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Timeless P-Style pickup retains the signature balance of clarity and depth that made these instruments so influential.
The split-coil design provides natural hum cancellation while preserving the organic compression and dynamic response that gives vintage bass pickups their unmistakable feel.
From deep Motown-style fundamentals to gritty rock grind, this pickup delivers classic tone with boutique refinement.
Hand-Wound for Organic Tone
Each Timeless P-Style pickup is hand scatter-wound using Plain Enamel wire, ensuring excellent note definition, natural air and responsive dynamics.
The result is a beautifully balanced frequency range, producing:
• Deep, punchy low end
• Growling, supportive mids
• Smooth, clear highs
— tones that sit perfectly in the mix whether you’re recording or performing live.
