There are a lot of different bass pickup shapes, making it hard to find the right fit. Since we make upgrades for more shapes than anyone, we often get asked for details. These posters are true 1:1 scale dimensional references of bass pickup shapes, created as practical shop tools for instrument builders, repair technicians, dealers, and luthiers.

Together, they provide a clear, life-size overview of the pickup geometries most commonly encountered in bass guitars, allowing you to confirm fit, compare footprints, and verify routing before committing to a cut or placing an order.

Design Intent:

These posters are intentionally geometry-only references. They do not describe voicing, coil structure, electronics, or product series. Their purpose is simple and practical: to answer the question “will this fit?” quickly and reliably.

Shapes are shown at true size and labeled using widely recognized, descriptive names so they remain useful across brands, generations, and repair scenarios. Printed on demand to maintain accuracy and consistency.

Specifications:

– 20″ x 30″ Full-color posters printed on matte paper
– True 1:1 scale
– Intended for wall display in workshops and shops
– Designed for builders, repair technicians, dealers, and OEMs

These posters are reference tools, not catalogs – designed to be used, not just looked at.
