The Sadowsky SAC PU MM4 B is a passive 4-string M-Style humbucker built specifically for the bridge position. Its quad-coil construction, Alnico V magnets and exposed pole pieces make it a distinctly Sadowsky take on the familiar M-Style bass pickup format.
A shielded 4-conductor cable gives the pickup more wiring flexibility than a simple 2-conductor design, while the black soft-touch cover and exposed Alnico V pole pieces give it the same clean Sadowsky aesthetic found across the company's bass electronics. For players replacing an existing M-Style pickup or building an M/J-style instrument, this is the genuine Sadowsky bridge pickup option.
Please note: M-Style pickup dimensions, string spacing and body routes are not universal. Compare the dimensions below with your existing pickup and bass before ordering.
The SAC PU MM4 B uses four coils inside the M-Style pickup housing and connects through a shielded 4-conductor cable. This provides a more flexible electrical architecture than a basic 2-conductor pickup.
Sadowsky uses its 4-string M-Style humbucker in basses equipped with selectable Series / Parallel / Single Coil operation. The exact switching options available in your bass depend on the electronics and wiring configuration you use.
Pickup Size:
3.48" [88.50mm] Long
1.89" [48.00mm] Wide
Before Ordering:
Sadowsky notes that pickup string spacing and body routing can vary between manufacturers. Check the pickup dimensions and your bass's existing route before installation.
Depending on the instrument, modification to the pickup route may be required. Sadowsky recommends that body modifications be performed by a trained professional.

MM-Style Wiring:
The SAC PU MM4 B is an M-Style pickup, but M-Style routes and string spacing can vary between bass manufacturers. Sadowsky specifically recommends checking the pickup spacing and physical fit before installation.
When replacing pickups, also verify that the existing electronics are compatible. Sadowsky notes that changing between active and passive pickup systems can require other electronic components to be changed.
If you are not experienced with pickup wiring or soldering, Sadowsky recommends professional installation. Full installation and wiring information is available in the Sadowsky Pickup Installation Manual.
Bridge. Sadowsky specifies the SAC PU MM4 B as the bridge-position version of its passive 4-string M-Style quad-coil pickup.
Not necessarily. Pickup routes and string spacing vary between manufacturers. Compare the 3.48" x 1.89" [88.50 x 48.00mm] dimensions with your existing pickup and route before ordering.
The pickup itself is passive. It may be used as part of a compatible active bass electronics system, but the existing electronics and wiring must be compatible with the pickup.
