The 42 AWG Poly-Nylon wire, combined with traditional handwinding techniques, contributes to a detailed sound with well-controlled harmonics.<\/p>\n<p>From a tonal perspective, the <strong>IUSO MGBA54<\/strong> delivers a compact and punchy character, with solid and controlled lows, present mids that help the bass cut through the mix, and clear yet never harsh highs. The result is a vintage-inspired but well-defined tone, with a fast attack and strong articulation, ideal for players seeking the classic Mustang\/Bullet \u201cgrowl\u201d without sacrificing clarity.<\/p>\n<p>Wax potting reduces microphonics, ensuring reliability and stability even at high volumes, making this pickup suitable for both studio and live use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> this pickups use the larger reissue Mustang style covers (e.g. Mustang JMJ) (pickguard cutout for 18.8 mm x 44 mm covers with a pole-piece mounting spacing of 50.7 mm). The body must be routed with the appropriate cavity. The pole spacing is 19 mm. Please check the dimensions before ordering. <strong>A custom version for vintage models can be made upon request<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8046,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[295,551],"product_tag":[571,572],"class_list":["post-8030","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-bass-pickups","product_cat-mustang-bullet","product_tag-bullet-bass","product_tag-mustang-bass","first","onbackorder","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Handcrafted pickup IUSO MGBA54 for Mustang\/Bullet style bass guitars<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Handcrafted IUSO MGBA54 pickup for Mustang and Bullet basses.
