Edenburgh Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Now tinkering a bit with my '07 Fender Highway One Precision. Can anyone identify these pickups? Are they stock? Also...am I right in thinking this is the Greasbucket circuit with the extra cap on the tone pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Anything stamped or moulded in the cover... Artec? Alnicos from lack of bar magnet at the bottom. Edited December 12, 2022 by PaulThePlug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edenburgh Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Nothing stamped or moulded on the covers. But done a little more digging. There's a number 048614 stamped on the bottom of the pickup. This, it turns out, is the Fender part number for the bobbin which (according to a thread on Talkbass) changed to plastic in 1999. Therefore appears to be stock pickups. Just to confirm the Greasbucket thing now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Certainly looks that way... 2x caps and a resister in the sleeve... https://www.bestbassgear.com/ebass/gear/electronics/greasebucket-circuit-removal-mod-for-fender-american-special-jazz-bass.html Edited December 12, 2022 by PaulThePlug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Link error... No not me... spotted on Gumtree in Southampton. I've made a 'ATTN: Southampton' post. Too far for me unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
