• Sims Super-quad Pickups

    OLD SCHOOL TONES, 21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGY.

    Experience the capabilities of 15 different pickup options within only one bass – thanks to the Super-Quad Pickup.
    So, say goodbye to the tone-sculpting overdose of too many knobs and say hello to our new, all-inclusive and totally organic tone generators.

    Our unique Super-Quad pickup contains four hand-wound coils which, when connected to our patented Tri-Logic switching system, allow the user to alternate between the three most iconic pickup coil configurations;
    SPLIT COIL [Precision Bass], SINGLE COIL [Jazz Bass] and FULL HUMBUCKER [StingRay].

    Simplicity is guaranteed with the use of our tri-colour LED (housed inside each Super-Quad) which gives clear indication of the selected pickup mode.

    Not only do you have unrestricted access to all three of the classic pickup tones you’ve heard on millions of records [in a single pickup], there is tonnes of room to expand upon them by taking advantage of the FIFTEEN uniquely possible, different pickup configurations. All whilst experiencing no change in output volume.

    Contrary to common perception, due to the tri-colour coil mode LEDs, our Super-Quad pickups are completely PASSIVE. That is because our aim when designing the pickup was to achieve the three classic [passive] tones within a single housing. However, they are very effectively used with active preamps as well as passive circuitry.

    Our standard ranges are available in 4 & 5 string models. 6 String, fanned fret, custom material & finishes etc are available from our Super-Quad custom shop.
