Frequently Asked Questions
The Quarter Pound series is significantly hotter, offering more output and a beefier low-end response – a noticeable difference for players wanting a more aggressive sound.
While generally adaptable, you might need to slightly modify the pickup routing on older basses with very narrow spacing to ensure proper fit.
They're versatile enough for recording, but their high output shines best with an amp that can handle the power; a clean amp with a good EQ section is recommended.
