Basslines' active 4-string pickups for Jazz Bass and P-Bass were designed to meet the needs of today's modern bassist who insists on an authentic, “original” look. The vintage pole piece design doesn't suggest that there's a highly sophisticated preamp under the cover-but there is.

The focused midrange gives the kind of definition that vintage pickups are so famous for. The P-Bass set is fat and present, with those popular “warm and woody” mids that P-Bass players adore.

The fully discrete, ultra quiet, single battery preamp delivers low impedance output with excellent dynamic range. As a result of the micro power circuit design, you can enjoy up to 2,000 hours of continuous battery life.

This pickup is a direct replacement and requires no bass guitar modification.

Application
