Frequently Asked Questions
The Apollos are voiced a bit warmer and more vintage-leaning than the original J-Sets, offering a slightly rounder, less aggressive tone.
While they accommodate up to 59mm, basses with significantly wider spacing may need minor pickup slotting adjustments.
They use standard J-Bass mounting, but soldering is required; a basic wiring diagram is readily available online for a straightforward install.
