Pair of pickups wired for versatile tone
The U5's Marcus Super PJ Revolution pickup set is wired for incredible tone. Made with a US-manufactured coil and Alnico V magnets, these pickups let you tap into the unique tones from classic basses, giving you a wide range of stylistic options. With these pickups, you can dial in the vintage jazz tones of yesteryear as well as more powerful, punchy bass tones. Bass players here at Sweetwater are incredibly impressed with the versatility of this awesome pickup duo!
Rolled-edge fingerboard makes all the difference
The shorter scale of the U5 along with the rolled edges of the hard maple fingerboard make this neck incredibly comfortable and fun to play. A fingerboard with rolled edges means a much smoother feel up and down the neck — no nicks or kinks to hinder or hurt your fingers as they move! In addition, the C-shaped profile of this neck sits beautifully in your hand for hours of easy playing.
