Slanted Pickups

[Muzoid]

I've probably seen 200-300 J style basses here at TB...but so far, haven't seen any with slanted J pups.

(or any slanted pups)

Show 'em off...I'd love to see them...

(I need to know I'm not alone - hahaha)

Slanted, but not a "J" casing:

Edit: ok, that was a not-so-subtle attempt to show off my new (to me) baby. Wut

There are 2 types as well, a true slanted pickup housing (think Dingwall) and a regular J pickup in a slanted position........

Awesome buddy!!!!!!

Mine is an Aria Pro II Magna Series (Model 20/5)

All guts replaced...those are Bill Lawrence J45 pickups...

Vol/Vol/Tone

And the tiny button is a tappable Kill Switch (fun - hahaha)

Amazing bass....it's my main one, and my fave I've ever had....Bridge is fantastic (stock) and plays like a dream...sustain up the ying-yang.

Kinda hard to find...I have only ever seen one other white one on Ebay.

But atleast now you know what to look for

Cheers...

Gorgeous Washburn Bass!!!....how does it sound?

Could you expound on this a bit?

Why sure:

1) Housing, depending on whether it is a single scale or multi scale, the pickups do take on a much longer area, than a single scale, which for the most part, do not take on much "tilt".

2) There are some basses out there that have housings, where the narrow edges are parallel with the string path and not following the typical "rectangular" shape....of a typical "j" or "soapbar" Pickup

I know that the Japanese bass brand called Moon has some models with 1 pickup slanted..
Also sometimes I see Tune(also a Japanese bass brand) basses that has 1 or both pickups slanted.

"Mmmmm, Slanty"

I love the one's that slant the other way...very cool!

Years ago (mid-1980s perhaps?) I saw Victor Bailey playing a red Schecter J-type bass with at least one slanted pickup.

I would think they're still the same though whether the housing is a flattened off to match the tilted look or not. It's still a rectangular magnet underneath. Unless they're doing individual magnets per string, off set to match the curve. Now that would be different.

This isn't a j but it sure is slanty.
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
And yet another.

But I do it since these are fan fret or multiscale basses.
Enjoy!
