VERY ACCURATE VINTAGE REPRODUCTION
MADE IN GERMANY
AGED POLE PIECES
Model PB63
This pickup gives you the whole range of Precision Bass sound variations: bigger, more punchy sound with the unmistakable “whack” of the g-string when it is slapped. A true foundation of bass for the music, particularly when you think of who made this bass sound popular: James Jamerson played almost all his Mowtown hits with his Precision Bass. 90% of the Stax hits were accompanied by “Duck” Dunn´s Precision and at a guess, around 40% of all the worldwide hits were given their bass foundation with this legendary instrument.
Model JB61 Bridge
The JB 61 Set represents the early years of the Jazz Bass. It delivers full-voiced grumble and a fat, low midrange tone which has enthused its fans in the diverse musical genres: Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ladi Geisler (Bert Kaempfert Orchester with the slapping bass tone from a Twin Reverb using a felt plectrum) or the unbelievably masterful Jaco Pastorius. Further Jazz Bass icons: the 16 year-old Bootsy Collins, who played with James Brown and others who provided driving musical foundations for legendary bands are of course, Noel Redding (Jimi Hendrix Experience) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin).
Model PB57
The coils on the PB 57 are historically authentic with Formvar-coated wiring. The difference with the PB 63: the sound has more presence, is somewhat finer and more drawn out.
Model JB71 Bridge
Following the sale of Fender to CBS budgets and expenditures were cut. As with the Stratocasters and Telecasters the pickups for the Jazz Bass were wound with less wire. The result was a different but by no means inferior sound. The sound of the JB 71 Set is somewhat wiry, lighter and a little airier. The midrange is not as powerful or far-reaching in bass as the JB 61. Lower bass and highs have more room to unfold. A typical example of the 70s bass sound is Marcus Miller.

Kloppman’s are grade A. However, you won’t find too many people reviewing them because only crazy people like me will pay $500 for a set of pick ups. However, it is worth it. I would say for the P/J set the 57/71 Is the way to go because you want a slightly under is the way to go because you want a slightly under wound P pickup and a slightly under wound J if you’re blending these. The PB 63 and JB61 are great “stand alone” pickups. However I would love feedback from fat tone on their view. Kloppmann’s are my #1 go to if you want a pickup that doesn’t make you feel like something is missing. This is my view and experience.
