Dragonfire ACTIVE P BASS Pickup Set
P Bass Active Pickup Kit, Matched 4-String
P Bass Active Kit Includes Pickup Set, Pads, Pickup Screws, Pots, Battery Clip, Jack, Tone Cap
The Split P Bass Pickups in this Dragonfire Active P Set provide hot active output and clarity with the sound isolating and low interference performance typically associated with an active pickup. These noiseless pickups excel in the low to midrange while still allowing for high end response, freer vibration, and low-end thump, adding nice dimension to your playing. The eight-pole design (4 each split) on these single-coil wax potted P Pickups will work for your fretted or fretless 4-string bass. Wax potting on the coils and an epoxy seal on the pickups help isolate sound, increase noise suppression, and reduce feedback as well as or other undesirable output.
Featuring ceramic magnets, better balance, increased sustain and output across the strings, these Active Jazz Pickups are a must-have for the serious player. Better performance maintenance regardless of volume level along with reduced overtone and balanced signal conversion make these pups stand out in the crowd. If you want less hum, more snap, clean signal and sharpness, look no further! Each pickup comes wired with a white (hot) wire, bare (ground) wire, and battery wire plus black pickup connection wire (roughly 6” in length).
These precision-style pickups are single-coil split for two distinct pickups wound opposite from each other. This wiring allows for more even tonal capability and balanced sound along with reduced hum. These are great for big, substantial playing styles with the thickness and thump you need in most styles of play.
The cover dimensions for these pickups are a bit larger than US standard sizing. If you are direct-mounting, there is generally no problem. If you are using a guard, some pickguard modification may be required for proper fit. Bass pickup dimensions have varied over time so be sure to check your cavity and available space with the approximate measurements for these pickups provided below.
