Description
The ASB-5S Phase I is Seymour Duncan’s answer to the classic string-spacing headaches that plague soapbar pickups on wider 5-string necks. Instead of a single flat blade, each pickup uses a split-blade construction that keeps every string sensed evenly, so your B string doesn’t get shortchanged in output or clarity.
- Moderate output active pickup set voiced for both neck and bridge positions
- Split-blade design eliminates string-spacing inconsistencies across the 5-string layout
- Traditionally voiced, warm tone with a natural, detailed top end rather than a hyped or scooped one
- Direct drop-in replacement for Bartolini P2 and P4 equipped basses
- Pairs naturally with Seymour Duncan’s STC-2 or STC-3 Tone Circuits for onboard shaping
- Rated for roughly 1,000 hours of continuous battery use per set
- Logo covers, mounting hardware, and wiring included
If you’re chasing a punchy but musical low-end voice with a top end that stays detailed rather than harsh, this set gives you a foundation to dial in with a preamp of your choice. Also available in neck and bridge versions for 6-string basses if your build calls for it.
