Northern Pickups

1966 saw the introduction of the last Fender original designed bass. With a similar pickup design to the P-Bass®, the Mustang® uses single poles for each string rather than the bi-pole design of the P and Jazz bass®. Later versions also co-opted a Jazz Bass® pickup in the bridge position.

​

The Mustang Bass set covers are 44mm wide, come with vinyl coated wire as standard and black covers. 

​

Options available:

​

Magnets

Choose from AlNiCo 2,3,4 or 5

​

Covers

Black, ivory or parchment (off white)

​

Hookup Wire

Choose from vinyl coated wire or wax cloth covered wire

​

Pickguard

As Mustang Bass pickup sizes vary, you can opt for a pickguard you know they will fit on with no messing around. For £30 extra choose from:

White, parchment (off white), black, mint, or brown tortoise shell.

​

Overwound

An optional extra to get more gain and punch from your pickup. This also darkens the tone and is ideal for high gain and distortion.

​

All information about options available is on the support page.
