Like many Lollar pickup designs, our 70s SR bass pickups were born from notes Jason had taken while repairing vintage pickups, notably StingRay pickups from the model's debut in 1976. These pickups have a Hi-Fi sound with a bright top end and deep midrange, with a distinctive punchy attack.
The original design used unique, longer pole piece magnets that required a deeper rout than what is typical in modern StingRay basses. We took Jason's original notes and sourced special magnets that fit the more common modern rout, while offering the same smooth, full-bodied sound as the originals.
To accommodate as many players as possible, we developed a complementary neck pickup that pairs well with the original bridge position voicing for HH bass models, and a 5-string HH set for 5-string players seeking the vintage 70s StingRay sound. Utilizing modern materials and techniques, Lollar 70s SR pickups offer a vintage-sounding replacement without compromise.
Please note that we recommend checking and confirming the dimensions of your pickup routes to ensure our 70s SR pickups will be a suitable replacement. Routing templates are available if modification to your instrument is desired.
