Designed and constructed in the UK by the specialists at Sims Guitars, each Super-Quad pickup contains four hand-wound coils engaged via a patented switching matrix which allows the user to choose between three of the most iconic pickup configurations in bass history.

The innovative Tri-Logic system comprises two independent mini-toggle switches that select one of three coil presets for each pickup — split, single and dual coil. An RGB LED on each solid carbon fibre housing provides precise visual indication of the active modes providing players with complete freedom to explore the tonal possibilities of fifteen unique combinations.

SPLIT COIL
Replicates the unmistakable character of a fully open, vintage P-Bass pickup
SINGLE COIL
Emulates the growl and punch of a classic mid-seventies era single coil J-Bass pickup
DUAL COIL
Modeled after the distinctive power and cut of an original Musicman humbucker

Make Full Contact

Babicz Full Contact Hardware is a revolutionary new approach to bridge technology which, as the name implies, ensures full contact between the vibrating string and the body of the instrument, maximising sustain and tonal response. Courtesy of its patented eCam saddle technology, the Babicz design also provides enhanced tuning stability and fully lockable, precision adjustment for string height and intonation.
