Seymour Duncan SSB5S Phase II Passive Soapbar 5 String Bass Pickup Set

Face it. Not everybody likes active pickups. That s why the engineers at Basslines, Seymour Duncan s all-bass division, just released the Phase II Passive Soapbars. These replacement pickups offer a passive alternative to battery-powered pickups. The tone is simple and organic, with the added warmth and punch you expect from a great passive pickup. Bassists can use the Phase II Passives with passive volume and tone controls. Or, for maximum control, they can be matched with Basslines STC-2p or STC-3p Tone Circuit (sold separately), which offers either two or three bands of active EQ together with a proprietary slap contour switch. The Phase II Passive pickups are direct replacements and generally require no instrument modifications. The full-length dual blade accommodates maximum string spacings up to 3.10 (78.5mm) for the five-string model.The Phase II Passive pickups are hand built in Seymour Duncan s Santa Barbara, California workshop and include mounting hardware and instructions.
