GAS Bass pickups are designed and made in the same way as our guitar pickups. Finest materials, perfect design, high end production, the highest grade of quality control, and perfect consistency will guarantee the best possible sound for your bass guitar!
Currently, we offer pickups for 4 string Telly®, Precision®, and Jazz Bass®-styled instruments, but there is more to come, so stay tuned!
And, above all, we have John Grigoriou, top Greek Bass player and guru, who ordered us his signature JB pickup set!!!
All GAS Bass pickups are available for testing in G.A.S.!
Note: When comparing
pickup data, we strongly recommend not judging a bass guitar pickup
by its DC resistance. This easily measured, widely known size does
not tell that much about the sound coloration that is expected from
a certain pickup when operated on a bass
guitar.
Furthermore, it's the frequency response curve (frequency vs. level) and especially the resonance peak of each pickup model that better describe the frequency response and harmonic content, which determine the sound. You may find the resonance frequency on each of our bass pickup model data sheets (last line, on the bottom of each model's description). Apart from this, you have to consider that the bass guitar electrics (vol and tone pots, tone caps) as well as the bass guitar cable will also significantly drift the resonance frequency towards a mellower range and cut the peak in some dBs.
P-GAS 50
Output: Medium
Our pickup for the archetype of the electric bass, the Telly® style bass. Deep, full sound, rich in harmonics due to the high resonance peak. 0.195" A5 bevel rods, black bobbin, AWG 42 heavy PVA wire.
Resonance: 7,2 kHz, 11dB peak, RDC: 7,8 kOhm
P-GAS 60
Output:
Medium
The pickup for the basic, all-time classic rock'n'roll bass sound!
Rich sound, with full bass, nice balanced midrange, distinctive highs and smooth attack.
Perfect for any classic style
(thumbing, plucking, muted, etc.).
Wide 0.195" vintage bevel top A5 rods. AWG 42 Poly wire. Black bobbins.
Resonance: 7,9 kHz, 7dB peak, RDC: 12,3 kOhm, AWG 42.
P-GAS 60
Plus
Output:
High
The high output Precision®
pickup, for the aggressive hard rock player who wants a full,
dominant sound. Prefers a hard picking style rather than a finger
style.
Wide 0.195" vintage bevel top A5
rods. AWG 42 Poly wire. Black bobbins.
Resonance: 7,4 kHz, 7dB peak, RDC: 13,6 kOhm, AWG 42.
P-GAS 70
Output: Low-Medium
A Precision® bass pickup with a more open, brilliant sound. Full sound, with lots of nice "upper mids" presence, mainly due to the (period correct) narrower magnet rods.
Good for classic and also modern styles (thumbing, plucking, muted, slap, etc.).
Perfect for balancing out dark
sounding Precisions®.
0.187" vintage bevel top A5 rods. AWG 42 Plain Enamel wire. Grey bobbins.
Resonance: 8,5 kHz, 7dB peak, RDC: 10,8 kOhm, AWG 42.
Jazz-GAS
60
Output:
Medium -
High
Our 60's style JB pickups are
for the traditional clean, yet warm, mellow Jazz Bass sound. They
support balanced playing styles, offering huge dynamics and smooth
attack, also due to the beveled top rods.
Black bobbins, 0.187" A5 bevel
top rods, Heavy PVA AWG 42 wire. The neck version is RW/RP for hum
cancellation when both pickups are in operation.
Neck pickup
data:
Resonance: 6,7 kHz, 10dB peak, RDC: 9,0 kOhm
Bridge pickup data:
Resonance: 6,4 kHz, 10dB peak, RDC: 9,3 kOhm
Jazz-GAS 70
Output:
Medium
Our 70's style JB pickups
aim for a more modern, airy, and brilliant sound. They support more
aggressive playing styles (pick, slap, etc), featuring fast attack
due to the flat top magnet rods.
The 70's also help primarily
"dark" sounding instruments by allowing a more balanced
sound.
Great dynamics. Grey bobbins,
0.187" A5 flat top rods, Plain Enamel AWG 42 wire. The neck version
is RW/RP for hum cancellation when both pickups are in
operation.
Neck pickup
data:
Resonance: 7 kHz, 10dB peak, RDC: 7,1 kOhm
Bridge pickup data:
Resonance: 6,4 kHz, 10dB peak, RDC: 7,9 kOhm
Jazz-GAS "John Grigoriou" Signature set
Output:
High
Greek Top Bass player John
Grigoriou asked for a signature GAS-Bass pickup set with a deeper
voicing than the 60's set. We designed and
delivered...
Black bobbins, 0.195" A5 bevel top rods, Polysol enamelled AWG 42 wire.
Neck pickup is RW/RP for hum
cancelling when both pickups operate together.
Neck pickup data:
Resonance: 5,0 kHz, 10dB
peak, RDC: 9,4 kOhm
Bridge pickup
data:
Resonance: 4,8 kHz, 10dB peak, RDC: 10,3 kOhm
All measurements are
performed with our Lemme Pickup Analyzer. Pickups are measured
"Stand Alone", which means without any pot or cable load, as if
they were directly connected to an 1Mohm amp input. Rdc values
measured in 18o C Temperature, and may vary depending on
local weather conditions (temperature variations).
We measure each GAS
model in "stand alone mode" as if the pickup was directly connected
on an amp input of 1 MOhm by a very short non-coaxial cable. The
guitar electric parts (pots, caps, etc.), as well as the cable
used, will certainly affect the resonance of any
pickup.
