Carondelet P

The blueprint is vintage turn-of-the-60s spec as it pertains to the bobbins’ material and thickness; the alloy, length, diameter and gauss of the eight Alnico V magnets; and the coil wire’s gauge and insulation material and its thickness. We modified and modernized the recipe, however, by adding a 10 percent overwind for a touch of extra growl, throat and output; and exposing both coils to a post-assembly paraffin soak to enhance durability and increase lifespan. Most importantly, we fixed the most common culprit of dead P-bass pickups … we replaced frail and obsolete vintage cloth push-back leads with extra thick, extra flexible modern silicone rubber leads.

DELIVERY TIMES: Most Carondelet pickups are wound and assembled by hand, one at a time. Due to speed limitations in the hand-crafted process and overall demand, lead times for Carondelet pickups typically range from two to four weeks.
