This order channel is for a single pickup. Go back to a page and choose Mixed Sets of Bass Pickups if that's what you want. It's perfect for attention-grabbing solos with a dynamic tap, slap n smack style of the bass virtuoso. However, they are versatile multifaceted chameleons and can easily step back into the rhythm section after the applause subsides. And we did it without active electronics so, "look, Ma.... no batteries". -
Impersonator MV (Modern Vintage - formerly known as Impersonator 54 v5) with Kinman's Gen-2 technology
Customer Stuart says ..."These Kinman Impersonator 54 pickups sound very similar to the Bare Knuckle 63 Veneer 64's – but better. There’s more clarity, and there’s more top-end. Honestly, the Kinmans are making my other Strats sound dark – and they’ve got true single coil pickups in them. Noiseless pickups aren’t supposed to have better top-end than true single coil pickups, but these do". (read the Report Card for more)

Frequently seen Forum comment “Noiseless Strat pickups don't have Stratocaster highs and snap” Until recently that did have an element of truth in it, but not anymore. News flash Apr-2021: Now with our new Synergy baseplate that allows switching off Hum Cancelling as well as switching to 'Synergy' mode. This new Impersonator E69 is the latest addition to our impressive line-up of non-aged-sound Generation-2 Zero-Hum Strat pickups and fills the gap between the low output Scoop and the moderately loud Impersonator E56. -
Impersonator E56 with Kinman's Gen-2 technology. We changed the name from A56 to E56 (E for enhanced) which better describes this pickup (7-Aug-18). Frequently seen Forum comment “Noiseless Strat pickups don’t have Fender highs, snap and crispness” Until the advent of our Gen-2 models that did have an element of truth in it, but not anymore, Kinman Gen-2 pickups are the real deal. Click below and listen to see if it's true ..... see if this Kinman sounds like a 1950's Fender pickup when it was new.

All NEW Gen-2 Impersonator 52n incorporates newly developed technology and specially made parts engineered to produce our first Tele neck pickup with loud Non-Aged-Sound. We recommend you switch to the Technical Tab to the right for the important stuff you should know about this new model. The sound it produces is non-aged, which means quite dynamic and alive. Behaves like a new non-noiseless pickup and tends to resist crunching too easily under heavy pick attack. Highs with a lot of presence, soft-edged twangy midrange with highly prominent piano mid-tones and lovely deep bass .... and it's loud and punchy. -
You will get Zero-Hum 1952 Esquire Tele sound with this fantastic Gen-2 Tele bridge pickup. Gen-2 is generation two, a new design. The sound of Alnico-2 magnets with a fat coil, like the genuine article made in 1952. Old world Tele sound, clear and not too bright. Less sharp attack and a complete bottom end. Remains well defined under high gain amp distortion.
