Radius-ed J bass pickups (relentless)

[manchego_eggo]

Duncan Apollos may work as they come in two sizes and have radiused pole pieces. OP, make sure to measure the size of the stock pickups as there are a few "standard" 5 string jazz pickup sizes

DiMarzio model J is your solution here

I think model j is not available for 5 strings

You're probably right. I just checked DiMarzio's website and the only 5-string pickups available are their Area and Ultra Jazz pups.

As a test you can buy some small neo magnet 'dots' and stack them on your existing magnets.

This solution sounds like it should work. If so, it would allow someone to adjust the individual pole piece heights of just about any pickup model.

I took a quick measurement of the poles on a Seymour Duncan set I have handy and they look to have a diameter of about 7mm. A pack of 1mm thick magnets would probably do the job nicely...not too thick, but one could add a second disc if more height was needed.

In my case, half of my necks have a vintage-style, 7.25" radius, while the other half has a 9.5" radius, so I could easily make this adjustment to all of them with a 50-pack. I may have to get myself a set just to experiment for funsies. (There are cheaper sets available overseas, but for some reason...probably because of something that kinda rhymes with "sheriff"...the shipping costs are suddenly much higher.)

it looks like your sire uses american standard sizing (100/104) which Duncan offers on their 5 string offerings. you can also browse fatbasstone and filter by that size to see other options. Aguilars, Fralins and the Nordstrands all appear to have radiused options.
