DESCRIPTION
Delano JC AL Jazz Bass Single Coil Series
The DELANO JC series are retrofit pickups for standard Jazz Bass™ type instruments and can be installed in any kind of bass with similar pickup routings.
JC Series four and five string pickups are available in standard four string size shells (covers).
Five string AS models will fit into Fender USA™ five string Jazz Basses™ made after the mid nineties.
The JC AL (alnico single coil) is our well revised version of the classic JB pickup™.
We examined the best vintage basses from 1960 to 1977 to create a harmonious blend between the woody low mid growl and warm articulate midrange early sixties pickups are famous for with the funky ‘twang’ of some better seventies examples, then we added a slight embellishment to the deep bass and bright harmonics range.
The result is a well balanced single coil pickup that delivers everything from the best old school R&B tones to funky spank on steroids. JC AL pickups are available in matched pairs or as single units.
Please check the physical size of the pickups you want to replace to make sure the replacements fit properly.
