P-Bass Specialists

Just received this Coil for a rewind. I am not the bass expert and I have not seen a White Bobbin P-Bass before.

The stamp on the bottom shows production in 1974. Anyone have any info about these? Outputs? I believe it's 5.4-5.5k per coil, I have a 1974 that has the gray bottoms and it's 5.4k per coil.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have one from about that era. It's gray actually.

They are 10,000 turns of 42 AWG. All the ones I've seen looked to be potted in lacquer.

The gray one's I have are a lot darker than this one.

Right now I have 2 from 1794, 1 from 1978, 1 from 1979 and they are all lacquer potted.

Thank you.

That is pretty light. It also looks like the lacquer is missing from it.

Here's the '74 bobbin I have

Mine looks like it's not lacquer potted from the top. That is until you see it from the bottom.

I have a 'white' J Bass rhythm pickup around here somewhere, I think in the early '70s CBS wasn't very picky about the color of the fiber they used as long as it was cheap.

Somewhere about 5K a coil should be about right.
