PRODUCT DETAILS

CERAMIC MAGNET / D.C. =15.8K- This 6 string pickup is a classic soapbar with great tonal character. It can be used either active or passive mode, alone or in pairs. In parallel there is the characteristic CLICK of a Stingray when popped, and in series it has the full, round growl of many classic bass pickups. The full-length bar pole-pieces allow any string spacing up to 94mm to be used and play as hard as you wish without the fear of pulling a string out of the magnetic field. The widely spaced coils sample a fairly long section of the string, giving a high-tech bass sound. Great for 6 string bass builders and custom mods! 4 conductor wiring allows coil splitting, series/parallel, phase inversion, and more.

131.6mm length
27.7mm width

What is the difference between Alnico and Ceramic pickups?

Alnico and Ceramic refer to the type of magnet used in a pickup, and they directly affect tone and output.

  • Alnico (Aluminium, Nickel, Cobalt) magnets are often preferred for a warm, smooth, and vintage-style tone. Variations like Alnico II, III, and V change the strength and character:
    Alnico II – softer, vintage warmth, lower output
    Alnico III – very soft, sweeter tone, low output
    Alnico V – stronger, brighter, higher output

 

  • Ceramic magnets are harder and typically give a hotter, brighter sound with more punch, often used in modern rock or metal pickups.

Choice depends on your style, guitar, and desired tone – we can advise if you’re unsure which will suit your instrument.

Do I need to shield my guitar cavity when changing pickups? 

Short answer - yes, shielding can help. If you use single-coil pickups or you’re hearing buzzing/whine from radios, lights, or pedals, adding copper shielding foil around the electronics reduces that unwanted noise and makes your guitar quieter.

Why it works - simple:

  • Shielding creates a metal “box” (a Faraday cage) around the pickup wiring and pots.
  • That metal box intercepts radio-frequency (RF) interference and mains hum, then diverts it to ground so it doesn’t get into your signal.
  • The result is less background noise and a cleaner tone.

Quick how-to (basic, non-technical steps)

  1. Clean the cavity so the foil will stick.
  2. Lay the copper shielding foil with overlaps on seams - make sure pieces overlap so there are no gaps.
  3. Ensure electrical continuity - all the foil should be touching so it forms one continuous metal surface.
  4. Solder a short wire from the foil to a ground point (for example the back of a volume pot or the bridge ground). That gives the foil a path to drain noise to earth.
  5. Optionally, line the underside of the pickguard as well for extra protection.
    If you’re not confident with soldering, ask a local tech or luthier to fit it for you.

We sell copper shielding foil with self-adhesive backing - it’s an easy product to use for this purpose:

What does RW/RP mean and why is it important when choosing pickups?

RW/RP stands for Reverse Wound / Reverse Polarity. It’s used in certain single-coil pickups to reduce hum when two single-coil pickups are used together. Many middle Strat pickups, P-90s, and Tele pickups are offered with RW/RP so they can be paired with a non-RW/RP pickup to cancel unwanted noise when both pickups are selected together. When two single-coil pickups are combined and one is RW/RP, they create a “humbucking” effect, meaning interference from electrical hum is cancelled out. This does not apply to humbucking pickups, which already cancel hum by design. Choosing the correct RW/RP option ensures that your single-coil pickups work together correctly and provide a clean, quiet signal when used in combination.
