    What pickup is this?

    I realize this is an old thread, but I have an idea why the pole pieces are beveled on the bottom. So we know the 62 originals have the exposed ends of the poke pieces beveled, while the CS 62s are flat top. It is likely that Fender used the same pole pieces for both pickups, and merely inverted...

    True Custom Shop® Hot 60's Reissue Pickup Set for Fender Jazz

    The pickups the OP is referring to are an aftermarket brand called "True Custom Shop." They are not a Fender product. Their current offerings in P-bass pickups are a "quarter pound" (1/4" alnico pole") pickup wound to 8k (mine measured 9k) and an overwound 17k pickup with standard alnico poles...

    Seeking your real world class D amp head comparison and experience

    I have a Markbass Little Mark 3, and a TC Electronics bam200. So I have a $700 amp and $150 amp. Both sound great. I bought the TC Electronics as a backup and a practice/rehearsal rig that I might use on small gigs. The TC Electronics seems to deliver as advertised in terms of power. It sounds...

    True Custom Shop® Hot 60's Reissue Pickup Set for Fender Jazz

    I just installed their quarter pound precision pick up in a Squier that I just upgraded with high mass bridge and nitro lacquer refin. It actually measured 9k DCR, vs the advertised 8k. I expected it to have more of a vintage sound with the lower impedance winding, but I'm not getting that. I...

    Can anyone identify the year of this jazz bass copy?

    "Commitment"

    Why try to "follow" it? Why not just "scroll past them. If the title starts with "re" I just don't open it expecting it to be something other than a discussion post." No it actually increases the inappropriate postings as the trolls top post when they discover their posts have been flagged...

    "Commitment"

    Those people who complain about "slogging though" those posts would be putting their time to better use if they followed this one simple caveat while reading posts. "I just scroll past them. If the title starts with "re" I just don't open it expecting it to be something other than a discussion...

    "Commitment"

    So you could pretend to ignore the fact that "reasons" for flagging was already covered. It's one thing to edit a quote to address a specific portion of it, another to blur the point of the post by cherry picking it and removing something that provides context. You did, actually. You...
