Custom Bass Pickups

JankTone Custom Pickups began in 2007, exclusively building bass pickups. Bass players asked us to design and build a pickup that enhanced clarity.

We believe that our bass pickups demonstrate that honest, true Tonal Clarity is the force that drives musicians to play their very best. When players hear clearly all of what they are playing, they will play with even more passion and precision!

Demand for other kinds of pickups inspired us to create different styles of bass pickups, as well as our boundary-defying guitar pickups, including our new Jankenstein® Humbucker, now available for both guitars and basses.

Ask us to convert your bass from active to JankTone Custom Passive Pickups.

You’ll be amazed by the difference!

  • We build all existing styles of bass guitar pickups.
  • We create individual pickup styles for custom bass builders.
  • We build and machine bass pickup covers in traditional plastic, as well as exotic hardwoods.
  • JankTone makes passive pickups with output, variety, and tonal clarity envied by active systems. No more 9v batteries!
  • Some players have used JankTone passive pickups with active preamps. We’ve received positive feedback about the results.
