Frequently asked questions

Can I use these products together or in the same instrument?

No. The Antiquity II 60s Surf is designed for Stratocaster electric guitars, while the Antiquity Jazz Bass Neck Pickup is built for four-string jazz bass. They serve completely different instruments and cannot be mixed.

Which one is better for funk?

The Antiquity II 60s Surf is specifically listed as ideal for funk, delivering crisp articulate response and vocal midrange. The jazz bass pickup is designed for jazz and studio sessions, not funk guitar or bass playing.

Do both pickups come with hum-canceling?

Yes, both use reverse wound/reverse polarity (RWRP or RW/RP) construction, but in different configurations. The Strat set cancels hum in positions 2 and 4 via the middle pickup; the bass pickup eliminates hum when paired with a bridge pickup in standard two-pickup bass setups.

What magnet types do they use and why does it matter?

The Strat uses Alnico 5 for bright, articulate response; the bass uses Alnico 2 for warm, woody tone. Alnico 5 produces more output and treble, while Alnico 2 is softer and darker—each choice matches the intended instrument and genre.
