Features: J/P-Bass single pole

The HendriX J/P-Bass single pole set is a 'vintage' versions of the modern J/P-Bass
due to the single poles based on the P-'51 Fender Telecaster Bass-guitar.

It comes in three versions:
1. P-Bass split-coil humbucking single pole with a J-Bass single pole (non humbucking) in the brdg position.
2. P-Bass split-coil humbucking single pole with a J-Bass double pole (non humbucking) in the brdg position.
3. P-Bass split-coil humbucking single pole with a J-Bass single pole split-coil (humbucking) in the brdg position.

These 'vintage type' set(s) in fact go back to the 1950 years of the Fender P-'51 and have that same nice attack
of a single pole, straight under the strings. One could say it's a kind of 'down-grade" back in time.
Bass-players who don't have the budget to buy a vintage instrument, can modify the sound of a modern bass-guitar
without body-work. It is advised to save the original pickups with the instrument, for re-sale and value purposes.
It also may well be that there comes a time to go back to the original sound of the 'modern' bass if you feel like it.
