Bass VI Jaguar
The Zero-Hum Blues-Jag (Impersonator MV aka modern vintage) is a great pickup for the Bass VI, it is dynamic and responsive, and it has a slightly bolder sound.
We think a Texas Jalapeno v3 makes a great companion bridge pickup because it has a higher output level that helps balance the loudness of the bridge and neck. It also has more piano-mid-tones and slightly less treble that agrees with bass. Its sound is open and full of tone, and we believe you’ll love the experience.

Bass VI Jaguar
Jaguar for Bass V1
The Zero-Hum Blues-Jag (Impersonator MV aka modern vintage) is a great pickup for the Bass VI, it is dynamic and responsive, and it has a slightly bolder sound.
We think a Texas Jalapeno v3 makes a great companion bridge pickup because it has a higher output level that helps balance the loudness of the bridge and neck. It also has more piano-mid-tones and slightly less treble that agrees with bass. Its sound is open and full of tone, and we believe you’ll love the experience.
Our ThickMaster (Jazzmaster) pickup is a perfect companion pickup for the bridge position of the Bass VI on the right above. It produces a very dark but responsive sound as far as single coils go. 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.
News flash: We now include 2 of our specially made replica mounting screws.
Some people will call these noiseless Jaguar pickups, but Kinman prefers to describe them correctly as Zero-Hum Jaguar pickups. That’s because there are 2 types of noise, Hum which is canceled in the pickup and Buzz, which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars
** 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, Strat, Jaguar, and Jag 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.

We highly recommend consulting the Install Guide in the Technical section, even if you think you know it all. Kinmans require specialized knowledge, and sometimes there is updated info.
We also highly recommend consulting the Adjust & Set-up page also in the Technical section so you get the best out of your Kinman pickups.
