Frequently Asked Questions
The Gen4s are a refinement; they offer slightly improved clarity and a more balanced frequency response, with a more nuanced vintage tone than earlier versions.
Generally yes, but always double-check your bass’s pickup routing dimensions – these are standard Jazz Bass sizes, but slight variations exist.
While usable, the AlNiCo 5 magnets aren't optimized for aggressive slap tones; you might find them a little too mellow compared to hotter pickups designed for that style.
