Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together as a set?
No. The SRB-1N is engineered for guitar neck positions, while the SRB-1B is designed specifically for 4-string Rickenbacker bass bridge positions. They serve different instruments and roles.
Which pickup is better for metal and hard rock?
Neither is ideal for metal or hard rock. The SRB-1N excels in rock, indie, and jangle pop; the SRB-1B suits funk, rock, and studio work. Both prioritize articulation and clarity over aggressive gain or thick saturation.
What is the main tonal difference between the two?
The SRB-1N emphasizes extended treble and shimmer with a 11 kHz peak and 4/4/7 EQ curve, while the SRB-1B prioritizes punchy low-mids with an 8 kHz peak and 6/4/7 EQ. The neck pickup is brighter overall; the bridge is more balanced with deeper presence.
Do both pickups support coil-splitting?
Yes. Both ship with four-conductor plus shield wiring that enables coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, and in-phase/out-of-phase configurations for tonal flexibility.
