Seymour Duncan - "Made in USA" pickups with soul

Seymour Duncan is one of the world's most renowned brands for guitar and bass pickups and has been synonymous with high-quality, handmade pickups with an unmistakable sound for decades. The company develops innovative sound solutions that are highly regarded by professionals and discerning amateur musicians alike.

With the SSB-4S set, Seymour Duncan offers a passive alternative to active soapbar pickups that is not only easier to install, but also impresses with its down-to-earth, natural tone. The typical punch and assertive tone of modern bass sounds is completely retained - without the need for a battery.

Technical details of the Seymour Duncan SSB-4S Soapbar Pickup Set

The pickup set consists of two dual-coil soapbar pickups for 4-string electric basses: the SSB-4B for the bridge position and the SSB-4N for the neck position. Both are equipped with ceramic magnets for high clarity, fast response and rich, modern tone. The EMG-compatible housing format allows easy installation in many common bass models.

The DC resistance is 3.7 kOhm (bridge) and 3.3 kOhm (neck), which indicates a moderate output power - just the right balance for players who appreciate dynamics and organic sound development. Thanks to the 2-wire cabling, the pickups can be easily integrated into almost any passive circuit.

The SSB-4S set is finished in classic black and blends in perfectly with both modern and classic bass designs, both visually and sonically. For maximum flexibility, both pickups are also available separately so that individual combinations are easily possible.
