These pickups have well-developed overtones and singing sustain in the body and decay of the notes.
The uniform magnetic field of a bar magnet allows each note to have accurate dynamic response and more harmonic content; no information is lost as the string moves back and forth. Our proprietary design takes these benefits to a new level that will bring out the best qualities in any instrument.
The DCB® pickups sound great installed in a passive bass or in conjunction with an onboard preamp.
