It's a good day.

A while back I found these two articles:

http://www.fender.com/news/index.php?di ... rticle=884
http://www.fender.com/news/index.php?di ... rticle=904

Since then I have had a goal (obsession?) of collecting at least one of each production 4 string contained in these articles "The Other Fender Basses".

This morning the H.M. was delivered. A little rough physically but a real nice player. I have enjoyed picking it up off and on today as it is so unique. Most importantly, it was the last one I needed. The collection is complete. Pop the champagne.

Pickups resemble much to Lace Sensors.

They are Lace Sensors.

But they have the Fender logo instead of the "Fender-Lace Sensor" script!

I suspect Fender used those Fender-branded Lace pickups for their MIJ Lyte basses, though my Deluxe uses a humbucker instead of a regular J pickup!

From my knowledge Lace never made J-style humbucking pickups.

Brotherdave, I have a Squier HM bass V. Do you think this Squier also has Lace Sensors?

By saying LACE SENORS I should have pointed out that they are Lace designs made in Asia. That is much like the DUNCAN DESIGNED pickups featured on some Asian basses.

I have no idea about the Squier pickups.

Thanks, Brotherdave!


The Squier HM was my second bass (my first "Fender") and I always enjoyed playing it.
