J. Fletch II

Nicely trimmed top end and more push through the mids and bass, this adds a thickness to the tone. Single coils of long double-poles, using reasonably strong Alnico 2 magnets to give a wide area of sensitisation and decent power. A tall thin coil, packed with AWG42, results in a smoother, fuller tone. Great if your JB voice just needs thickening up a bit.

J. Fletch III

Still the same feel of a JB, but with smoother, woodier tones with much less attack. Single coils of long double-poles, using weak Alnico 3 magnets to give a wide area of sensitisation and relatively low. A tall thin coil, packed with AWG42, results in an articulate, sophisticated voice. Less funk, more jazz!

J. Fletch V

We know the versatility of this design. Smooth thumpy bass in the neck & bright plinky bass in the bridge, and all those in between. Single coils of long double-poles, using strong Alnico 5 magnets to give a wide area of sensitisation and plenty of power. A tall thin coil, packed with AWG42, results in a bright, focused bass tone. Hand/scatter winding keeps some of the frequencies lost be cheap pickups, for a broader more musical tone & exceptional dynamics.

J. Fletch VI

Subtle reduction of the top end and a slightly fuller mid. Single coils of long double-poles, using strong Alnico 4 magnets to give a wide area of sensitisation and plenty of power. A tall thin coil, packed with AWG42, results in an ever so slightly fuller bass tone, with the same controlled low end of Alnico 5.

Mustang Bass

Somewhat of a mash up between P & J bass pickups. Single Alnico poles per string like a P bass, as well as Humbucking, but smaller, narrower coils like a J. Has a somewhat bright and cheerful bass voice. Alnico 5 will give the best treble response, with a measured low end, with Alnico 4 sounding almost ecactly the same to me - perhaps a touch less hasty in the upper register. Alnico 2 is thicker in the mids with a woolier low end. A smoother, more bassy bass. Alnico 3 has a natural woody kind of feel. Low powered and articulate.
