Die Fender Instrumente waren absolut revolutionär und
haben viele Musikrichtungen überhaupt erst möglich gemacht.
Aber die Zielgruppe für die Hammondorgel war auch die Louisana
Baptist Church und nicht Jon Lord und Keith Emerson.
Die Aufteilung der Zugriegel ist heilig, bis heute.
Ich hab das mit der 70er Jazz PU Position schon öftergelesen,
auf jeden Fall in *How the 7enderbass changed the World" von
Jim Roberts.

(Rick) Regarding pickup placement in all your basses, do you generally copy Fenders design or have you experimented with various pickup locations?
(Roger) We offer both Fender 60s and 70s locations, but 60s is our standard. In the 70s Fender moved the bridge pickup closer to the bridge, ironically not for tone but for cosmetic reasons. With the 60s location, when they put that silver ash-tray Fender bridge cover on, the pickup stuck out in front of the cover. Someone at Fender decided it would look better if the pickup was under the cover.
(Rick) Regardless of how it sounded.
(Roger) Exactly. So they moved the pickup so that it would fit under the ash tray, and what that does is that when the bridge pickup is soloed the tone gets a bit more mid-range sounding due to its location. And there are definitely people who have come to prefer that.
