Replacement pickup for a Fender Musicmaster

Post by Maik »

Hi,

I´m looking for replacement pickup for my `78 Musicmaster. It has only a neck-pickup. It doesn`t need to be an original Musicmaster PU.
I`m looking for the Pat Walden sound of the first Babyshambles LP, especially his rough, trebly live-sound.

Any ideas?

What about a Fender Fat 50s Strat neck PU?

Vintage for Jaguar® SJAG-1
application
Vintage correct single-coil Jaguar® pickup. Recommended for country, pop, surf, rockabilly, blues, ska and classic rock.

description
Every detail in sound, construction, and appearance is faithfully duplicated in this vintage pickup. Even the original hand grinding process is used on the magnetic pole pieces. The result is classic '60s Jaguar® sound. Comes with waxed cloth hookup cable. Does not include cover or "claw."

complete setup
Available in neck and bridge set with the neck reverse wound, reverse polarity ("RW/RP") to create a hum canceling effect when used together with the bridge pickup.

guitars
For warmer toned ash, alder or basswood body instruments. Works especially well with rosewood fingerboards.
