A "Passive Phase II" Approach: Modernity, Punch, and Musicality
The SSB-5S is part of Seymour Duncan's passive Soapbar pickups designed for bassists who want the reliability and simplicity of passive wiring while maintaining a modern and expressive response. The result: a versatile set, responsive to right-hand nuances, with a solid foundation in the low end.
Who This 5-String Soapbar Set Is For
This kit is ideal if you're looking to upgrade a 5-string bass equipped with Soapbars to gain definition and articulation without switching to active pickups. It suits both fingerstyle and pick playing and adapts well to genres ranging from Jazz and Blues to Rock and Funk, with excellent sustain on the lowest notes.
Design, Wiring, and Integration: Built for the Road
Each pickup in the set features a dual coil construction for a stable signal and good noise reduction while preserving the character of a passive system. The 2-conductor wiring facilitates easy installation in classic wiring schemes. The Soapbar format is designed for practical integration, especially as a replacement in EMG 40 -compatible routings on many 5-string basses.
