Big Split 4

Description Tone Dimensions Artists The Big Split tone is one of both precision and muscularity. Its nature is of a sort of hybrid P/J character, only it delineates a smoother, stronger, and richer tonal palette. Given the extrapolated personality of its P/J sound, the Big Split is a top notch choice for both fretless playing and the Jazz Bass-on-steroids tone purist. The Big Split uses the same angled magnet layout as out the Big Single, only the coil is split. Through fitting as much wire as we could between two coils under a soapbar cover, we have come up with a tone that is fat, clean, and stylistically game changing.    Technical Details: Split coil humbucking 4 string bass pickups Available as single neck or bridge pickup, or as a set.

This pickup’s hybrid timbre was created when Jazz and Precision tone was accidentally dropped into our Sonic Superconducting Particle Collider. The result was sonic pulverization, an explosion of vibe and ventriloquistic parentage; for it was found thereafter that the best aspects of the PJ. *Not exactly what you are looking for?  Email the shop directly or call the shop at: 909-790-2548 to find out about our many custom pickup options.

I replaced the old pickups on my Spectors and never looked back since. As soon as my schedule winds down, I’m changing the pickups on my other basses with Nordstrands" - Kim Lesaca MEDIAHERE REVIEWSHERE
