TV Jones Pickups

Bring on the Thunder!

Boost your bass with the TV Jones Thunder'Tron Bass Pickup. Named by Saul Koll (of the Koll Guitar Company) for its thunderous bottom-end, the Thunder'Tron is the perfect replacement pickup for your old or new Gretsch® bass.

The Thunder'Tron is an all-around stand-out performer, with superior dynamic sensitivity and punch. String-to-string response is excellent and notes ring out with supreme fullness and clarity.

The Thunder'Tron is standard equipment on the TV Jones-designed Gretsch Spectra Sonic Bass, and also the Thunder Glide Ali from Koll Guitar Co.
