barrycreed Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I think the only ones Iāve seen are Dano, Jerry Jones and old Silvertone vids on YT. Sound seems very clear and crisp. The Dano 59 demos Iāve seen sound pretty good but youād be hit or miss with rest of guitar, especially the tuners from what I can gather.Ā Other brands seem to have stayed away from lipsticks for good reason maybe? Too weak ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky_lowdown Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Kent Armstrong and alike make high output lipstick pickups, so not weak. They are essentially guitar pickups probably why they aren't used in basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Armstrong do Jazz lippys: https://www.wdmusic.com/kent-armstrong-split-tube-series-chrome-hot-lips-pickup-for-fender-jazz-bass-details.html 10.3k, so hotter than most J units.

BigRedX Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 In the bass world ālipstickā pickup says nothing about the design of the actual pickup other than it will fit in a tube. The Gus bassĀ Ā pickup is one of the hottest single coilsĀ you will ever come across. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
