Description
If you love the snap and openness of a real J pickup but can’t stand the 60-cycle hiss, the Delano JC5 TF/M2-AS was built for exactly that problem. It’s a drop-in replacement set for the Fender American Standard 5-string Jazz Bass, wired as a split-coil design so you get the hum-cancelling silence of a humbucker while keeping the touch-sensitive, harmonically rich voice bassists expect from a single-coil J.
These are part of Delano’s Times Square line, built around slim rectangular Toferrite pole pieces engineered to catch every nuance in your right hand — dig in and it responds, back off and it cleans up without losing definition. The magnet-and-winding recipe here is the result of years of Delano tweaking how magnetic properties and coil winding interact to shape tone, and it shows in how the two pickups complement each other.
The neck pickup leans into growl and a velvety low-mid thickness, with just enough glassy top end to keep notes from getting muddy. The bridge pickup answers with a punchy, percussive attack and a tight fundamental, plus that airy, open quality bridge single-coils are known for. Together they give a 5-string Jazz Bass a full, articulate voice from the low B up.
