Frequently asked questions
Can I use the jazz bass pickup in a regular electric bass?
The Antiquity Jazz Bass Bridge is engineered for standard 4-string jazz bass routing and pole spacing. It may not fit or sound correct in solidbody electric basses with different pickup cavity dimensions or magnet spacing.
Are these pickups good for heavy music or metal?
No. The Antiquity II 60s Surf is explicitly not ideal for metal or thrash metal, and the Jazz Bass Bridge is not recommended for hard rock or metal. Both are vintage-voiced for clean, articulate tones rather than high-gain aggression.
Do I need both neck and bridge pickups for the jazz bass to work?
The Jazz Bass Bridge pickup includes reverse polarity winding and is designed to pair with a complementary neck pickup for full hum cancellation. Using it alone will work but you lose hum cancellation; using it with a standard-polarity neck pickup achieves the intended balanced, quiet operation.
What skill level do these require to install?
The Antiquity II 60s Surf is rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional players—suitable for anyone comfortable with Strat wiring. The Jazz Bass Bridge is beginner-friendly for bass players, though soldering and wiring knowledge helps; many bassists have technicians handle installation.
