Description
If you love the touch and clarity of a classic J pickup but can’t stand the 60-cycle buzz, the Delano JC5 TF/M2-AS is built to solve that exact problem. It’s a direct replacement for the Fender American Standard 5-string Jazz Bass, so installation is straightforward — no routing, no guesswork.
Delano’s Times Square design uses slim, rectangular Toferrite pole pieces to translate even subtle playing dynamics into sound. The result is a pickup that feels sensitive under your fingers and responds with real warmth and dynamic range, not a flattened, generic output.
What makes this set click for gigging players is how it splits duties between the two positions. The neck pickup leans into growl and a velvety low-mid thickness, topped with just enough glassy shimmer to keep notes from getting muddy. The bridge pickup flips the character toward punch — percussive, tight, and fundamentally focused, with an airy openness that cuts through a busy mix.
Because it’s a split-coil design, you get genuine hum-cancelling performance while retaining the touch sensitivity and harmonic detail that single-coil J pickups are known for — a combination that’s hard to find elsewhere.
- Direct replacement for Fender American Standard 5-string Jazz Bass
- Split-coil, hum-cancelling construction with true single-coil J character
- Shielded 1-conductor cable
- Neck pickup: 4.0″ [101.5mm] long, 0.73″ [18.5mm] wide

Built from decades of Delano’s winding and magnet expertise, this set is for players who want quiet operation without sacrificing the expressive, dynamic voice that made J pickups a bass staple in the first place.
