This high-output single-coil pickup is designed to maximize the punchy midrange and hot output that Precision Basses are famous for. Say goodbye to getting lost in the mix—the SPB-3 Quarter Pound will cut through any blend of instruments with its powerful tone. Although frequently used by rock bassists chasing a heavy sound, this versatile pickup provides amazing tonal range suitable for any genre.

Massive Tone From Quarter-Inch Pole Pieces

The SPB-3 Quarter Pound gets its name from the 1⁄4" pole pieces that expand the magnetic field and frequency range for a fat, full tone with huge midrange presence and highest possible output. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA, these pickups use Alnico 5 rod magnets and Forbon flatwork for unparalleled performance.

Drop-In Replacement for Any P Bass

The SPB-3 Quarter Pound is a direct replacement for stock pickups in any American Standard Precision Bass. Its 4-string configuration provides a straightforward installation with no modifications required. Once in place, players will immediately notice the difference in power and articulation.

Non-Microphonic and Feedback Resistant

The SPB-3 Quarter Pound pickups are vacuum wax potted to eliminate squeal and reduce feedback at high volumes. Their highly rigid construction prevents microphonics from translating string vibration into unwanted noise. The result is a pickup that allows aggressive playing styles without sacrificing tone.
