My Clover Apeiron H.5 has the Delano TheHybrid set. It has the single-coil version of those on the neck, the JC 5 AL, and their unique MM/J hybrid humbucker on the bridge. It's pretty interesting: One coil is just like the JC 5 AL, the other one is a low-impedance pre-EB StingRay-style coil with big AlNiCo magnets. In humbucker mode, the J coil is tapped, so less winds are used to match the low impedance of the MM coil, and then they are wired in parallel. This way, they nail both the Jazz Bass and StingRay sound. The only other pickup I know of that does something similar is the EMG MMTW. But they use ceramic magnets with blades afaik, so not really vintage sound on those.

I've never had Delano pups in any of my basses, but alot of the higher end basses that I like come stock with them. Something other than EMG or Barts. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Great video brother man.

[@RumblinMan]

Thanks my man!!! Yeah I’m with ya. I’m not into EMG. But I love revolutionary stuff that sticks to the vintage concepts.

[@AllbeeHivezChristianAllbee]

I actually have my eyes on some Delano Quad-Coil pickups for MusicMan right now for a “Wal meets Fender” bass project in the near future. This video proves that Delano is a good brand.

[@RumblinMan]

Nice!!! Delano is the way to go.

[@scottm7720]

I’ll have to try some of those, they definitely have a nice 70’s vibe. Have you tried Fralin pickups? They are kinda local to where I am in VA, and they are the jam.

[@RumblinMan]

I’ve never tried Fralin’s bass pickups, but would love to!!

[@rmccain99]

Are you playing through a direct or a microphone. I like single coil. The Gibson Grabber G3 electronics will be my next project and for that I will need foil shielded single coil pickups. Made by who?

[@RumblinMan]

Helix.

[@brittboyette461]

How do they compare to Fender Noiseless pickups in tone as well as price?

[@RumblinMan]

The Delano’s might be a bit more expensive, but I like their tone way better than Fender.

[@brittboyette461]

@@RumblinMan I have Fender Noiseless pickups in three of my basses, two of them being Jazz basses and I really like them. One of them is a Fender Jazz V with active/passive system, (I forget what Fender calls it.) and gives you quite a few tonal options that keep me very happy. That being said, I may have to try the Delano pickups in the near future.

[@ianmcfly31]

Have you found the output to be much of an issue at all?

[@RumblinMan]

Nope, not an issue. I just crank the volume or gain a little more than my other basses. Love the sound.

[@bertrandmajorik6589]

U seem to enjoy that CNZ bass, tone wise, how does it compare to your other J basses ?

[@RumblinMan]

Thanks! I definitely enjoy it. It’s my favorite of all my J basses. Tone-wise, I was never blown away by the stock pickups. Now that it has these Delano’s, it sounds as good as anything. But I also really like the sound of my Sire V3, because the active electronics on those are absolutely great.

[@bertrandmajorik6589]

@@RumblinMan Thanks man !!! Never had a J. I love my P sound, but.... one day I'll try one.

[@guyviola5359]

Those pickups sounds very good to me, Another great demo Rumblin Man, God bless you, Daniel!

[@RumblinMan]

@@guyviola5359 God bless you too brother! Thank you.
