Since we started installing our own pickups in 2003, we never stopped our research in order to achieve increasingly better sound and performance. Our latest generation pickup, called the JeDXS, not only boosts its own performance but also introduces a new feature... a totally new shape.

Almost three years have passed since we started our serious research in order to develop our own pickup design.

Producing our own pickups was very challenging, but we were sure that it would offer us a lot of advantages, like the perfect possibility to fine tune our own sound, better matching to onboard electronics to get maximum performance, and flexibility to offer more options for our customers.

But there were also many inconveniences:
It involved rather long and of course expensive research.

Since then we have made dozens of preliminary projects and prototypes, changing many parameters and design details.

Our new JeDXS is the latest (but not the last) project in that long journey.

Powered by the latest generation of Neodimium magnets and a split coil feature, it brings powerful gain with a wide dynamic range inside of a hum-free, compact* design.

And here is our final touch, the new organic shape matching our overall design philosophy and the silver-plated engraved "Bird" logo.
Our "Bird" logo was first introduced on our Legend ™ bass as an unconventional F-shaped sound hole.

Our new JeDXS pickups are available on our entire line of basses.


...And we are now working on the JeDXD -- a double coil JeDXS version that will be standard on the Signature™, Legend ™,
and Prodigy L.E. basses....
