Thunder'Mag™ Bridge Pickup - Soapbar Mount
The unique tone of the Thunder'Mag is the result of offset T-Armond cylinder magnets which ensue a quick attack with exceptional pop and clarity followed by a voluptuous bottom-end.
Tone/Characteristics
The Thunder'Mag has been described as Rickenbacker-esque but more dynamic and less aggressive i.e. not harsh in the top-end eq. Out of our three bass pickups, you will notice the most definition with your fingers/pick in the Thunder'Mag. Definitely a great choice if you want to cover a lot of genres, because it rounds out nicely with a tone control.
Output/Power
DC Resistance is not entirely an indicator of true pickup output, although it can be helpful.
Bridge: DCR - 8.0k / Inductance - 2.75H
Neck: DCR - 5.0k / Inductance - 1.13H
Installation:
The Soapbar Mount is a direct drop-in replacement for any standard size Soapbar style pickups. This pickup ships with mounting screws and compression foam for adjustment.
Wiring Notes
This pickup is shipped with 4-conductor wire but is ready for standard 2-conductor connection. The extra red and green wires come soldered together and taped off - to split coils, send these to ground. 4-Conductor wire is also convenient for custom switching i.e. pickups combined in series or parallel.
Helpful Notes
