Pickups and Pre-amps
Passive Pickups
•
Performer & Legend Standard -
Designed by Spector, a passive, high
impedance pickup offers full output
characteristics combined with a
broad frequency response and clear
tone.
•
Custom Bartolini -
Designed and
built by Bartolini in their San Luis
Obispo, CA facility. This passive
pickup has a big sound, traditional
feel, wide frequency bandwidth,
“punchy” tone, and hum cancelling
design.
•
Aguilar 4P/J-
HC – Designed and built
by Aguilar in New York City. This well-
balanced pickup set provides a flexible
array of tones, whether using each
pickup alone or in combination. Now
you can get the thunderous lows of the
neck pickup or the midrange cut of the
bridge – or both – without 60 cycle
hum!
•
Aguilar DCB
- Designed and built by
Aguilar in New York City. The DCB®
pickups use a dual-ceramic bar design
to capture all the detail and character
of your tone. The pickup’s uniform
magnetic field ensures that no
information is lost, making this a great
pickup for dynamic playing styles. Full-
bodied tone with a rich sustain
characterizes the sound of the DCB
series, bringing out the best qualities in
any instrument.
Active Pickups
•
EMG-P
and EMG-J
- The active pickup
that changed the bass pickup business
in the late ‘70’s. Voiced after the
original P
®
design with a preamp built
into the pickup for extended frequency
response, high output, and noise free
operation. The EMG-J
offers a similar
voicing to the original J
with the same
benefits of the EMG design.
•
EMG-35DC, EMG-40DC & EMG-45DC
-
These
are part of the EMG Extended
Series. The DC
dual coil features side-
by-side coils that widen the magnetic
aperture delivering a deep, full low
end with slightly accentuated
midrange.
•
Fishman Fluence - The Fluence Bass
Soapbar pickup provides revolutionary
Fluence Multi-Voice performance,
dynamic range, and articulation. Based
on Fishman’s convention-disrupting
Fluence Core technology, a single bass
pickup can now produce multiple
timbres and sounds, each untethered
from the other. Original and totally re-
imagined, Fluence Multi-Voice pickups
for electric bass are free from the hum,
noise and frustrating inductance issues
that plague even the most coveted wire-
wound pickups, revealing pure,
uncorrupted bass tone.
Fluence Bass Soapbar Pickup Voicings:
Voice 1 (Passive): Classic, fat and round
Voice 2 (Active): Full frequency, full
dynamics
Voice 2 (Active with mid contour): Funk,
Hi-Fi scooped
Single Coil Mode: Same voices as above
but with Jazz Bass string window.
