Frequently asked questions
What's the practical difference in tone between these two pickups?
None—both have identical DC resistance (9.58 kΩ), Alnico 5 magnets, linear humbucking design, and vacuum wax potting. The only difference is string spacing for bridge alignment.
How do I know which spacing I need?
Measure the distance between the pole pieces on your bass bridge. Modern five-string jazz basses typically use 67mm spacing; traditional designs use 70mm. Improper spacing results in uneven output across strings.
Can either pickup work in funk and fusion styles?
Yes—both are described as suitable for jazz and fusion. Product B specifically lists funk as a best-use genre, while both deliver the articulate, controlled response needed for those styles.
Are these active or passive pickups?
Both are passive designs requiring no batteries. They integrate into any active or passive bass circuit without additional power requirements.
