NPJ6 Vintage Single Coil (J) Set

This pickup combination is the true formula for great vintage tone. Our standard NP6 placed beside our standard NJ6 is the simplest path to take if you are looking to achieve great old school vibes. Comparatively, in terms of our other P/J combos, like the NPVJ4SE or NPVJ4SV, their design is orchestrated around the manipulation of vintage tone. In choosing these pickups, your bass will bleed tuneful timbre that resonates between the throaty presence of the NP6 and the pleasant high end of the NJ6—truly a pairing that is destined to give your P/J style defined character and nostalgic dimension.
