Bass VI Jazzmaster
Bold Jazzmaster for Bass VI
Based on our ThickMaster for Jazzmasters this one has a thick, chocolaty growl that agrees with the bass. Our Zero-Hum Jazzmaster pickups have risen to become the number one Go-To noise solutions for Jazzmaster, and the same goes for these.
The thick, chocolaty growl imparts a desirable presence, and the lively dynamics sound good for conventional bass sounds as well as modern virtuoso tap, slap, and smack sounds.
However, there are other choices in the Jazzmaster section such as FatMaster and SurfMaster. Tell us which one you’d love to have in the Notes box on the Order Form.
** Alnico-K is a unique proprietary rod magnet developed by Kinman in 1985. It is Alnico-5 but has 40% less string pull than Alnico-5 so sustain is longer and there is much less clatter from string crash and no Strat-itis string warble.
* Fender and Stratocaster and Strat are registered Trade Marks of Fender Musical Instrument Corp, Inc. Kinman is not associated with FMIC but they kindly permit us to refer to their Trade Marks to describe our products.

Pot & Capacitor values

- The tone pot is usually the same value as the volume pot.
- Normal tone cap value of 0.022uF / 63 ~ 100 volts. Smaller value lessens the severity of the Treble cut and requires some experimentation.
