Description
The Pitbull Humbucking started life as a solution for the Metropolitan Tanglewood Bass, an oddball instrument that needed serious tone packed into a guitar humbucker footprint. Turns out that same footprint shows up everywhere – Les Paul Basses, Steinbergers, Epiphones, and a long list of custom builds – and the Pitbull has quietly become the go-to fix for players who inherited an instrument with the wrong-sized pickup cavity and no good options.
Don’t let the guitar dimensions fool you. This is a full-voiced bass pickup with plenty of low-end authority and a fullness that holds up whether you’re anchoring a mix or cutting through one. The 4-conductor wiring is the real trick here: run it humbucking for maximum output and hum-free thickness, or split it down to single-coil mode for a leaner, more articulate voice. It’s genuinely two pickups worth of tone living in one clean black-covered unit.
Highlights:
- Guitar humbucking-size format built specifically for bass applications
- 4-conductor cable for full humbucking or single-coil split wiring
- Strong output with a full, rounded tonal character
- Proven fit for Les Paul Basses, Steinbergers, Epiphones, and similar custom instruments
- Black cover
- Designed for bridge position
If you’ve got a bass stuck with a guitar-sized humbucker slot and nothing on the market seems to fit right, this is the pickup that was built to end that search.
