Frequently Asked Questions
The Pure Vintage ’60 PU aims for a more vintage, rounder tone, while the American Pro II pickups offer a more modern, scooped, and brighter response.
It’s designed for standard P-Bass routing, but modifications might be needed for non-Fender basses; check your bass's pickup cavity dimensions first.
The staggered design primarily affects the pickup’s output and string balance; it shouldn't significantly impact playability, but can subtly change the feel under your fingers.
