Retrovibe HotMud® 4-wire Mudbucker Bass Pickup Chrome
Description
This pickup is ideal for use in EB3 or EB0 basses or your own particular project. The massive coils have a series impedance of 30k and give a fat, warm tone. This pickup has 4 lead wires which means you can tap each coil separately and get single coil, series and parallel tones. I have sold lots of these pickups and everyone agrees they are a fantastic equivalent to the Gibson originals.The outer casing measures 90mm x 53mm.The pickup is approximately 35mm deep.Impedance is 30 KohmsPleaseFirsthand experiences
