Seymour Duncan Blackouts Bass Soapbar 4 String Neck Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Blackouts Bass Soapbar 4 String Neck Pickup is an active soapbar designed for high-output bass performance with extended headroom and minimal noise. This USA-made pickup delivers substantial power and tonal depth without the hum and interference common to passive designs. The active circuitry runs on battery power, ensuring consistent signal strength across the entire frequency range while maintaining clarity even at extreme output levels.

The ASB-BO-4 ships with a single-conductor cable plus battery wire, allowing straightforward installation in most four-string bass routing configurations. Active electronics provide superior dynamic range compared to traditional passive soapbars, with the Blackouts design emphasising punch and definition across lows and midrange frequencies. As a neck position pickup, it captures the warmth and fundamental character of the lower register while retaining articulation and presence that cuts through dense mixes.
