Basslines Phase II Passive Soapbars

Not everybody likes active pickups. That’s why the engineers at Basslines, Seymour Duncan’s all-bass division, just released the Phase II Passive Soapbars. These replacement pickups offer a passive alternative to battery-powered pickups. The tone is simple and organic, with the added warmth and punch you expect from a great passive pickup. Bassists can use the Phase II Passives with passive volume and tone controls. Or, for maximum control, they can be matched with an active circuit of your choice. These pickups are wound with 4 conductor coils which allows you to coil split for either single or humbucking sounds. The Phase II Passive pickups are direct replacements and generally require no instrument modifications. The full-length dual blade accommodates maximum string spacings up to 2.70” (68.5mm) for the four-string model and up to 3.10” (78.5mm) for the five-string model.

The Phase II Passive pickups are hand built in Seymour Duncan’s Santa Barbara, California workshop and include mounting hardware and instructions.
