Alnico split pickup
For fans of the classic ’50s and ’60s sound, nothing tops the “precision” punch and growl of Leo Fender and George Fullerton’s first bass guitar. A key ingredient in this bass’s mix-gluing flavor is its Alnico-magnet split pickup. The LB-100 looks to the original recipe for its pickup construction, using Alnico polepieces and modern winding techniques to deliver a timeless tone with enough output to handle modern styles of rock and metal.
Saddle-Lock Bridge
The Tribute LB-100’s Saddle-Lock bridge reduces lateral movement of the saddle pieces by tightening an Allen screw on the side of the bridge. Additionally, the Saddle-Lock bridge has a solid protrusion on its backside that is sunk firmly into the instrument’s body wood. Together, these two features make it easier for string energy to travel into the body and translate into a rich, resonant, and sustaining sound.
