Growler & Low Rider P/J Bass Pickup Combo
The Growler/Low Rider P/J Combo Set are designed for optimal balance for both positions, and are in-phase when played together for no volume drop. The pickups are humbucking in all positions.
The Growler Precision Bass pickups are wound with Gibson T-Top wire for a clearer tone, and designed to get a vintage Motown sound, but with extra midrange growl. The Growlers use Alnico 2 and 5 long magnets.
The Low Rider Jazz Bass pickups were developed with the idea of making a hum-canceling pickup set with a classic vintage single-coil tone, but being dead quiet when using an active preamp. We wound these pickups so the bridge pickup has more output for a better volume balance with the neck pickup, so still having a classic more 70’s tone. The Low Riders use Alnico 5 magnets but have higher center magnets for better string-to-string balance.
