The
9J-L1 is the Fender Jazz Bass (J Bass) replacement 'long' pickup for
the bridge position. It is highly respected by musicians and luthiers
alike for its deep tone, strong lows, low mids tone. They feature a
split coil design.
This is an "original series"
bass pickup with a passive design. It is cast in epoxy to remove
unwanted feedback and microphonics.
The lengths
of the neck and bridge pickups in the original J-basses are not equal.
The neck pickup is 3-5/8" long which is slightly shorter than the bridge
pickup which is 3-3/4" long. Some modern designs, however, use two
'long' bridge-length pickups. In this configuration it is important to
use the "LN" (long neck) pickup that is specifically designed to work in
this position (do not use a bridge pickup in the neck position). Some
(very few) use two 'short' neck length pickups. Please check the
physical size of the pickups you want to replace to make sure the
replacements fit properly.
