Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between these two models?
String spacing is the primary difference: the 67/70 has tighter spacing at 67mm (neck) and 70mm (bridge), while the 70/74 has wider spacing at 70mm (neck) and 74mm (bridge). This affects playing comfort and hand ergonomics on five-string instruments.
Which spacing should I choose?
If you have smaller hands or prefer compact string spacing, choose 67/70. If you have larger hands, prefer wider string separation for cleaner note definition, or own a standard Fender 5-string Jazz bass, the 70/74 spacing is more conventional and comfortable.
Are the tonal characteristics different between the two sets?
Both use hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets, linear humbucking design, and vacuum wax potting, so the core tonal character is nearly identical. The 67/70 emphasizes focused punch and articulation; the 70/74 emphasizes clean, controlled output with vintage clarity. The spacing primarily influences playability rather than tone.
Which is easier to install on a Fender Jazz bass?
The 70/74 is explicitly designed to fit original Fender 5-string Jazz bass cavities without modification and comes with chrome pickup screws included, making installation more straightforward on standard Fender instruments.
