One for the bass players ...

I've always loved the woody, throaty tone of the Telecaster bridge position sized four-pole pickup used in the original ash Precision Basses from 1951 through 1956.

Those pickups are true single coils, however, and subsequently noisy. I don't mind the noise but I'm the exception not the masses. That's why Fender went to a split P humbucking pickup in '57 and still use it today.

Vintage Fender Jazz Basses also have pure (and noisy) single coils. But because the J uses two pickups, you can reverse-wind reverse-polarize one pickup and get humbucker operation when they pickups are used together.

Digesting all that, here you go

... a two-tone burst '54 (contoured for arm and tummy) Precision Bass tribute body with a '51 tribute neck (THICK profile)

... and not one but TWO old skool P bass single coils. I not only wound one RWRP to make them humbuck when used together, I overwound the coils to make them louder and beefier, and I used 1/4" diameter alnico rods for more presence and articulation. You'd swear this bass is active but it is not, no 9V hassles.

The knobs are concentric stacks like on a '60-62 Jazz, where each pickup has its own dedicated and isolated volume and tone. Every blend option is doable and seamless.

This thing sounds even better than it reads on paper. It's getting raving reviews from my bass clients and I will subsequently fabricate more of them.
