Hello.
Does anyone know if there is a way to know what pickups model has my bas?
I heard that from 2008 am std jazz basses had 60s custom shop pickups. Does mine have those or fender originals?
Any markings or a way to check out?
Already wrote to customer support, but no answer yet.

The Custom Shop pickups were introduced in 2012.

You bass probably would have had the Alnico V pups as standards from the factory. 2012 Was the first year of CS60's as standard pups on the Am. Std.'s.

Custom Shop 60s Jazz pups have been around a little longer than that.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Just four of decades, or more. They were used on the Am. Std.'s starting in 2012, replacing the Alnico V pups. The Alnico V was a decent pup also.

AlNiCo Vs are still used on 5-string basses.

The Am. Std. 5 stringers come with the CS60's also.

Not true.

Fender hasn't developed CS60's for 5-string basses yet. Pickups are still AlNiCo Vs.

Only 4-stringers came with those Custom Shop pickups for the moment.

Perhaps Fender will introduce 5-string CS60's bass pickups in 2017.

I stand corrected. I thought I saw a CS60's decal on an Am.Std. V. It must have been a 4 string photo in low light.
