Description
The Quarter Pound isn’t a subtle upgrade — it’s the Basslines pickup that made oversized pole pieces famous. Swap out those quarter-inch diameter magnets in place of standard pole pieces and you widen the magnetic aperture dramatically, which pulls more low-mid punch and high-end snap out of your strings than a stock P-Bass pickup ever could. The result is a noticeably bigger, thicker voice with a forward midrange that cuts through a mix without turning brittle.
It’s the best-selling pickup in the entire Basslines lineup for good reason: despite the aggressive output, it’s not a one-trick pony. Punk players lean on the growl, classic rock and blues players find warmth and touch sensitivity, and metal players (classic or nu) get all the low-end weight they need to anchor a heavy mix. If your bass only has room for one pickup, this is the one that covers the most ground.
- Quarter-inch pole pieces for an expanded magnetic field and extended frequency range
- High output with strong midrange presence
- Logo covers included
- Bundled with a set of Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky Strings so you’re ready to string up as soon as the wiring’s done
Drop it into your P-Bass and let the quarter-pounders do the heavy lifting.
