MEGATON BASS PICKUP
When we starting working on guitar pickups you know I had to make a bass set! The "Megaton" is a passive medium output P-Bass split style pickup designed to be punchy yet not drive pedals too hard. Available in black, cream, wasteland cream or radioactive black. Drop these suckers in your bass and get ready to BLAST!!!
SPECS:
P-Bass configuration, 12-13K D.C. resistance, 42awg poly wire, alnico 5 magnets and potted with bees wax from my family's bee sanctuary.
TESTIMONIALS:
"You know what's over-rated? Really hot pickups. Sure, plugging direct into a tube amp with hotties is fun but if you're browsing the IdiotBox site then you're probably into drive and fuzz pedals. I confirm this pickup does what the description states - it's medium gain, and it plays well with pedals. Really well. I'm getting all these 'in between' tones from pedals that I couldn't access before. I can stack pedals and set gain stages much easier now. Clean tones from this pickup are clear and smooth, I'm using this Megaton exclusively and no longer blending in my bridge pickup. The tone is spot on, just what you need a P to sound like. The Megaton has got me trying all my pedals anew. I'm real happy! Note: I'm playing flats on a passive 34" scale tuned BEAD." -Scott (Western Australia)
