Bare Knuckle J Bass – ’60 HF J-Bass

Description

THE ‘STACK POT’ JAZZ BASS INTRODUCED IN 1960 FURTHER PUSHED THE BOUNDARIES OF SOLID-BODY BASS TONE. WITH AN INDIVIDUAL BRIDGE AND NECK COIL, BLENDABLE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF TONES AND HUM-CANCELLING, BARE KNUCKLE J BASS SETS ACCURATELY RECREATE THE ORIGINAL ‘DELUXE MODEL’ TONE.
’60 HF J Bass

Hand-wound with 42AWG Heavy Formvar wire to the original spec, the ’60 HF J Bass coils recreate the sought after ‘stack pot’ tone of those first HF wound Jazz bass coils. Each coil is powered by hand-bevelled Alnico V magnets with a pair of magnetic poles for each string. The neck coil is slightly narrower than the bridge coil, and RWRP for hum-cancelling with both coils working together. Individually the tone of each coil is bright with precise dynamic attack and exceptional clarity. Low notes are firm and high notes have a positive attack with a bell-like ring; blend both coils together for a deep and warm vintage J Bass tone with full hum-cancelling.
