Split Jazz
True Jazz Bass Tone, Noiseless.
$150 – $300
Lindy Fralin Split Jazz Bass Pickups offer a loud, clear and even response to four string bass players with no hum. This bass pickup allows you to get all of the Jazz-Bass vibe that you love, minus the hum. Being a hum-canceling Jazz Bass pickup, it’s fat, thick, and a little thicker sounding than a single-coil Jazz Bass.

Sound
The Split Jazz Bass sounds like a single-coil Jazz Bass pickup, only thicker and darker. As soon as you plug in, you’ll notice the hum-free tone. Designed with a pronounced midrange, expect a thicker, beefier tone. You’ll find these pickups speak what you tell them to – soft and quiet, or digging in. Our Split Jazz Bass Pickups, provide authentic Jazz Bass tone with better articulation. We hand-wind these pickups using our unique formula to give them exceptional balance and tone. We offer (3) winding options to help you determine the perfect tone:
- For an era-authentic 60’s tone, use our “Stock Wind”, or, choose “N/A” under output preference
- For a thicker midrange and fewer highs, choose +5%. This will reduce the highs by 5%, and increase the lows and mids by 5%.
- If you’re looking for a little cleaner tone, use our -5% wind. This will increase the highs by 5%, and decrease the mids by 5%.

These pick ups are amazing! I bought the 5% over wound so it gives my Adam Clayton jazz bass a big amount of out put and oomph. Thanks such a great product!

Didn’t NEED new pickups, but the existing ones didn’t work with the specific Audere preamp I was installing. After confirming these did not have grounded poles, I got the split jazz regular neck and +5% bridge. They are perfectly balanced and excellent tone. It is going to be my main bass because of how usable and versatile it is. No need anymore to worry about hum or volume differences when panning pickups. Exactly what I had hoped for. Thanks, Fralin team!
