A Signature Designed by Tim Shaw, at the Heart of the Cobalt Chrome Series
Configured by expert Tim Shaw, the Fender Cobalt Chrome pickups are designed to reveal the full musicality of a P/J bass setup. Their electromagnetic combination relies on a proprietary FeCrCo (Cobalt Chrome) alloy, chosen for its character and ability to deliver a very clear response, even when playing energetically.
For P/J Bassists Seeking Impact, Clarity, and Versatility
This set is aimed at musicians looking for a bold tone without sacrificing definition: sharp attacks, notes that stay clear in the mix, and a dynamic range that can be shaped to create a true playing signature. The presence of a split Precision pickup and a Jazz bridge pickup covers a wide sonic territory, from round and solid sounds to more incisive and articulated timbres.
