Description
Seymour Duncan 7-String Pegasus Bridge, Active Mount, Soapbar Matte Black Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 7-String Pegasus Bridge captures articulate, punchy response with controlled dynamics in a compact soapbar form factor engineered for extended-range recording and live tracking. This medium-output pickup articulates string definition across all seven strings while maintaining clarity through aggressive playing styles, making it ideal for studio sessions requiring definition without noise floor compromise. Built to exacting standards in Santa Barbara, it combines traditional craftsmanship with modern active mounting technology for secure, rattle-free performance that anchors your bridge tone.
Tone & Output Characteristics
The Alnico 5 bar magnet paired with medium output yields a balanced tonal response suited to both percussive and sustained techniques in the mix. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, ensuring clean signal transmission even at high gain settings and high-volume tracking scenarios. The nickel silver bottom plate contributes to the pickup's overall resonance and structural integrity, shaping how the bridge position sits in your final mix.
Design & Construction
This bridge-position-only model features a black soapbar cover with one row of exposed adjustable poles, allowing fine-tuned string balance and magnetic field shaping to dial in your preferred bridge tone. The 4-conductor lead wire supports multiple wiring configurations to match your preamp or switching needs, making it adaptable across different studio setups. Active mount construction keeps the pickup securely fastened without vibration, critical for maintaining consistent tonal character across recording sessions and live performance.
