Designed for maximum tonal versatility, the Classic J is the perfect passive pickup for your Jazz Bass. Use the tone control to roll off the high-end and hit the bridge pickup for fat “Jaco” inspired tones, or open up all controls and find enough punch, harmonics and clarity for some serious slap-work. The aged magnets allow for plectrum work that retains detail and a crisp attack.

Wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback. RWRP for noise cancelling operation when both pickups are in series or parallel.

Note: The Classic J set was sold under the name "Jazz Plus" for many years - Nothing has changed except the name!

New for 2024 - Due to popular demand, we've begun to make a variation of the Classic J with staggered poles - these work especially well with basses with more rounded fingerboards, such as the 7 1/4" boards found on vintage models and reissues.

Fantastic tone!

I put this set on a prototype bass and took it to a guitar show. It was my most popular model on show with some customers coming back several times to play it. Everyone who played it loved the tone. You can’t go wrong with Tonerider!

Chinese manufactured pu are not really appealing to me, but after reading all the great reviews I decided to give tonerider pu's a chance. Just installed the jazz-plus neck pu in my squier standard jazz bass. Very nice rich tones indeed, big upgrade from the original pu. In combination with a 0.68 tone cap it gives me a lovely deep reggae sound. I only use the neck pu so I didn't bother to install a bridge pu, but for the price maybe I should have. Excellent vallue for money.
