Bass Pickups
J Pickup
J Pickup - The J pickup we have made for us is a very good pickup with extended response and a good low end where most J's fall off. This has the cut and growl associated with the J pickup with added low end. Good for fretted and especially for fretless to attain that J fretless growl.
P Pickup
P Pickup - We went through many renditions of this pickup till we got it right. The result is a top end that can be bright, but remains smooth without the nasty peaks, and a good strong bottom end.
USM Soapbar
USM Soapbar - This is a passive alnico magnet design that has a full, big sound. An excellent all around pickup that has plenty of brightness for slap, plenty of low end and a good strong mid. We chose this pickup because it sounds great as a passive set up or with active electronics. And this soapbar is the same size as some EMG pickups, and some others, which gives you options down the road. Definitely a pickup we recommend.
USM Pro Soapbar
USM Pro Soapbar - Similar to our regular soapbar this is another design we worked on with Kent Armstrong. This is an excellent passive full response pickup that exhibits deep, strong, low end properties with extended high end, brightness, mid presence, and excellent punch and pop. We worked on this design with Armstrong to develop a pickup that sounds great as a simple passive set up yet fits with extensive active electronics and extensive wiring setups such as our MVP (mulitvoice passive) that utilizes tone chokes and our more extensive active setups.
