There’s a reason this is Seymour Duncan’s most popular Basslines pickup -- massive tone. The QP has a fat, punchy tone that pushes P Bass® pickups past previous models with design and frequency improvements. The quarter-inch diameter pole pieces expand the magnetic field and extend the frequency ranges for fat, full, punchy sound with tremendous mid-range presence and maximum output. Though often used for heavy rock tones, this pickup gives amazing tonal versatility, making it a favorite across the board in live and studio settings. This pickup is a drop-in replacement for any American Standard Precision Bass®.
Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the Quarter Pound for P Bass® uses diameter alnico 5 rod magnets, Forbon flatwork, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal free performance. Comes with black covers.
Size:
2.25” [57.15mm] Long

A favorite of rock players seeking high output, the SPB-3 has straightforward lows that do not get too muddy or warm. Rather they remain nice and tight, offering a focused tone. The pickup has a full, strong mid range that can really grind. This is one of the more punchy pickups for precision bass. Top end is definitely present, but not too biting.
