Frequently Asked Questions
It’s significantly hotter and more aggressive, offering a more modern, scooped tone; expect less of the classic P-Bass 'thump' and more growl.
While versatile, its high output is best suited for driven or distorted tones; cleaner settings might sound overly bright or harsh.
4-wire construction lets you wire the pickup in series for maximum output or in parallel for a more balanced, vintage-style tone.
