Haynes Golden Root p61 bass pickup

Haynes Golden Root P61 Bass Pickup

Some tones are timeless. The Haynes Golden Root P61 is a hand-wound split-coil bass pickup built to capture the warm, punchy, woody growl that defined the golden era of electric bass — and then some.

Wound by hand in our UK workshop, each P61 is crafted with the same obsessive attention to detail that goes into every Haynes instrument. We use period-correct Alnico V rod magnets, heavy Formvar wire, and traditional winding techniques to deliver a pickup that breathes, responds, and sings under your fingers.

The Tone

Plug in and you'll hear it immediately — a rich, full-bodied low end with just the right amount of mid-range bark. Clean and articulate at low volumes, warm and authoritative when you dig in. Whether you're laying down a groove in the studio or holding down the low end live, the Golden Root P61 sits perfectly in the mix without fighting for space.
