Lindy Fralin Split Jazz Bass Pickups offer a loud, clear and even response to four string bass players with no hum. This bass pickup allows you to get all of the Jazz-Bass vibe that you love, minus the hum. Being a hum-canceling Jazz Bass pickup, it’s fat, thick, and a little thicker sounding than a single-coil Jazz Bass.
Fralin's Split Jazz Bass Pickups are Noiseless Jazz Bass Pickups. They feature USA-Made magnets and wire and are wound by hand, one at a time. Featuring a Left-Right Coil design for no-hum, you will absolutely love the sound of Fralin's Split Jazz Bass Pickups. These pickups are wound to 60’s specifications, using top-of-the-line materials to give you a clear, open tone: all across the board.
The 5% Overwind produces a thicker and darker tone. It reduces the highs by 5% and increases the lows and mids by 5%…basically thickening up the midrange while retaining brightness.

Fralin’s offering in the Split Jazz version does not disappoint. These pickups are very responsive and have a nice bouncy feel. There is a bit of mid range scoop that sounds good, and just a pliable feeling all around. Neck pickup has a slight squishy feeling that is nice.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
