Lollar Pickups is an American pickup brand.
Its ability has been highly evaluated around the world, and it is often used by guitar brands that specialize in the price range of 500,000 yen to 1.2 million yen.
It is also supported by top artists such as Kevin Nolan, Steve Stout, and Katsumi Watanabe, which shows that it is highly regarded by both builders and players.
I met them at a guitar show in Germany.
I had known of his high quality for a long time, but his personality was also wonderful.
I asked him a lot of questions about pickups (although this is just a hobby), and he answered all of them accurately and carefully.
The answer was very logical and I was very satisfied with the high quality.
Founder Jason Lollar originally studied guitar making and is well versed in a variety of styles including archtop and electric guitars.
He has written extensively about pickups, and his books have influenced many guitar builders.
This model is a pickup for the 5-string JB, with the specifications of the 1970s in mind.
The 1970's JB had a different bridge pickup position.
This is what we aimed to recreate that kind of sound.
It has a stronger low-end to mid-range than the normal model.
However, it has a very clear sense of attack.
Based on this character, it maintains a natural and JB-like texture that blends into the ensemble.
Don't overlook the fact that the number of windings of the bridge PU is relatively large.
When used alone, the crisp strength will be more emphasized.
The height of the pole pieces is adjusted to match the radius of the fingerboard, and the spacing is designed to be optimal for each string.
By doing this, we aim to improve the volume balance of the strings.
If the pole piece is flat, the volume of only the strings at both ends may become louder, especially on a multi-string bass.
This is a big problem, and one that bass players are actually struggling with.
Recommended for those who want something hotter than just the 1970s.
If you are concerned about the loss of high frequencies and poor volume balance (low volume of the 3rd and 4th strings), which is common with pickups for 5-string JBs, we recommend you try this masterpiece.
