Stonewall Pickups Mustang Bass pickup set

My approach to the Mustang Bass pickup was the same as everything else I’ve been redesigning… but perhaps even more important because the pickup is so small. The bobbins are the same size as the traditional pickup covers which gives me approximately an extra eighth of an inch in width and an extra eighth of an inch in height for more copper wire. The result is somewhere between a Mustang Bass tone and a P-bass tone: bigger than you would expect out of a Mustang Bass with superior clarity and dynamics. Don’t let the size and the dc resistance fool you, these actually have more wire than a traditional P-bass set. If you want something custom, like higher output, lower output, or something crazy, contact me and I’ll make it happen.

These are made to fit traditional Mustang Bass pickup routs. So far, these have been installed in American Fenders, Mexican Fenders, and a variety of Squier Mustang Basses without any issues. These also fit in the 1980s Bullet basses.

Recommend for: all Mustang Basses… but not the modern ones with the P-J pickups

These pickups, like most of the Stonewall Pickups Alternate Dimension line, are made the same size as traditional pickup covers for a fuller tone and won’t fit in traditional pickup covers. Instead, I’m making tops out of pickguard material. I have white, parchment, cream, black, matte black, and tortoiseshell. If you’re looking for something different, let me know and I can order the material. The coils of copper wire are wrapped in string for protection. The options for string are: white, off-white, and black. But I might be able to get a different color if you need it.

All Stonewall Pickups are hand-wound (scatter-wound). When a coil is machine-wound, each turn of the wire lies directly next to the previous turn. This creates a muddy tone. If you've never owned hand-wound pickups, you are in for a treat: the clarity of tone and frequency response really comes through. Very open sounding with great string-to-string definition. Stonewall Pickups also have unmatched dynamics.

All Stonewall Pickups are vacuum wax potted to prevent microphonics. If you would prefer your pickups to not be potted (noisy but my favorite for recording), be sure to mention it when we email you regarding your pickup options.
