Frequently Asked Questions

The Black Winter is significantly hotter and has a tighter, more focused low-end than a JB, which is a more versatile pickup.
Coil-splitting will provide a usable single-coil tone, but it will still retain a characteristic high-output edge, lacking the clarity of a true single-coil.
While it can be wired for bass, the extremely high output might be too much and result in a muddy, indistinct low-end – it's primarily designed for guitars.
