Dom in Dorset Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Stupidly powerful but very clear and punchy , I have to plug into the active input on my amp despite the bass being passive. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Entwistle-JBXN-pickup-for-bass-guitar-Neodymium-designed-by-Alan-Entwistle/332726191232?hash=item4d7806c480:m:ml6RunQ5q4ldDFg1P_ohc0Q 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've fitted them in to customer's instruments and my own. Don't be put off by the low price, they really are up there with some of the much more expensive pick ups that I've tried.

Grangur Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 How about the sound of a classic hand-wound pup? I'm really enjoying my Jess Lourerio hand-wounds. They give a strong, deep gritty punch. Amazing value too. http://jlguitars.eu/shop/index.php?id_category=16&controller=category&id_lang=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I've never got on with Jazz type basses...... until I fitted a pair of the Entwistle JBXNs. I wired a series switch in as well and that really sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
