This 5 string bridge version of the Passive soapbar pickups has an organic feels with punch.
Some players want great tone, but simply don't want to hassle with batteries. This passive variation has a moderate output and a slightly more subtle tone than its active brothers. The punch you want is still there, but the feel of the pickup is more organic. Drop tunings are no problem for the SSB-5. Even with the lowest of lows, the articulation and low-end clarity shine. If you're switching from an active to passive setup, these will drop-in to any EMG 40 sized pickup slot. Pair with the 5-String Phase II Passive neck pickup for a perfectly matched set. For optimal tone control, install with the STC-2 or STC-3 preamps.
