Frequently asked questions
What's the main output difference between these pickups?
The PA-TB1B has 15.7k DC resistance with a bold midrange peak, while the PA-STK1N measures 6.8k with a treble-forward EQ curve. The PA-TB1B is roughly double the output, making it louder and more aggressive.
Can I use the PA-STK1N in a bridge position?
The PA-STK1N is purpose-built for neck and middle positions with its controlled output and treble emphasis. The PA-TB1B is specifically designed as a bridge pickup with higher output and midrange punch suited to bridge placement.
Which is better for clean tones and jazz?
The PA-STK1N is far better for clean tones and precision work, with its articulate controlled output and extended treble response. The PA-TB1B is optimized for hard rock and metal and not recommended for jazz applications.
Do both pickups reduce hum?
The PA-STK1N features Stack hum-canceling technology for 60-cycle noise elimination. The PA-TB1B uses dual-pole design for balanced magnetic field distribution but is not marketed as hum-canceling like the PA-STK1N.
