Description
If there’s one Basslines pickup that’s earned legend status, it’s the Quarter Pound P-Bass. Seymour Duncan built it around oversized quarter-inch pole pieces, and that extra magnet mass isn’t just for show — it widens the magnetic aperture, pulling in a broader spread of frequencies and pushing output well beyond a stock P-Bass pickup. The result is a low end that hits harder, mids that shove forward in the mix, and an overall thickness that makes a passive bass sound like it’s plugged into a compressor.
Don’t pigeonhole it as a one-trick metal pickup, though. Yes, it tears through heavy rock, classic metal, and nu-metal riffs with real authority, but the same punch and midrange snap translate beautifully to blues shuffles, punk eighth-note runs, and classic rock grooves. For a single-pickup instrument, that’s a lot of tonal ground covered without ever sounding thin or generic.
- Quarter-inch pole pieces for expanded magnetic field and extended frequency range
- High output with fat, punchy character and pronounced mid-range presence
- Versatile across blues, classic rock, punk, heavy rock, classic metal, and nu-metal
- Logo covers included
This bundle pairs the pickup with a free set of Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings, so once you’re done soldering, you’ve got fresh strings ready to put that new tone through its paces immediately.
