Frequently asked questions
Can I use either of these on the same bass or guitar?
No. The Antiquity 2 Pride is a single-coil P-bass pickup that fits only Precision-style bass instruments. The Pearly Gates is a humbucker guitar pickup for Fender-spaced bridge positions. They are not interchangeable.
Which has higher output?
The Pearly Gates TB-PG1B at 8.34k ohms output is considered medium-hot for a guitar humbucker. The Antiquity 2 Pride at 10.56k ohms DC resistance is a passive bass pickup voiced for full-bodied tone rather than raw output. Output comparisons are irrelevant across different instrument types.
Are both hand-crafted?
Yes. The Antiquity 2 Pride features hand-wound coils, hand-ground sand-cast Alnico 5 magnets, and paraffin wax potting. The Pearly Gates is also hand-built in Santa Barbara with Alnico 2 magnets and vacuum wax potting. Both emphasize artisanal construction.
Which is better for studio work?
Both excel in studios but for different instruments. The Antiquity 2 Pride is specifically voiced for studio bass sessions with warm, articulate tone and organic harmonic complexity. The Pearly Gates is a guitar bridge humbucker designed for rock and metal studio tones. Choose based on whether you're upgrading a bass or guitar.
