Randy_Marsh Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Can someone tell me if the Basslines Quarter Pound J pickups are active or passive? As I'm looking at buying a set. Also, where can you buy them in the UK? (other than GAK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 SD are always woefully under stocked. Yes you can but you may have to order them in. Can't help with the other bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroman Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 If it's any help, the 1/4 pounders I have in a P bass are passive, with massive pole pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Scrub that, they are passive & a few places state they are in stock. My SPB-1 just seems to be taking an age and I've had this before with SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Marsh Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Crikey! That was quick. Just had a look on the SD site and it says that their active pickups are listed as Blackouts and Livewires. So looks like the quarter pounds are passive... i guess. Might have to order through GAK then :/ would i be able to get some through John Shuker or someone like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endorka Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 They are passive... but they have a higher output than many active basses. I've recently had some of these fitted to a five string Squire Precision (which has jazz style pickups - I don't know why) and they sound incredible.

dudewheresmybass Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 iirc the distribution of SD pups is through Aria. Therefore anyone that stocks aria basses should be able to order them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
