What string spacing does the TB-4 Trembucker require?

The TB-4 is designed for bridges with 2 inches or wider string spacing (E to E). Check your bridge specifications before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

What wiring options does the 4-conductor cable support?

The included 4-conductor hookup cable unlocks series, parallel, and split-coil wiring options, giving you tonal flexibility without requiring additional modifications or external components.

Is the TB-4 suitable for jazz, blues, or folk playing?

No—the TB-4 is engineered for metal, hard rock, rock, and heavy genres where high output and aggressive sustain are priorities. Its punchy midrange and articulation are optimized for those styles rather than jazz, blues, or folk contexts.

What magnet type does this pickup use?

The TB-4 uses an Alnico 5 bar magnet, which delivers a punchy, responsive tone with excellent string separation ideal for fast, precise playing.

What feedback reduction does the construction provide?

The pickup is vacuum wax potted to reduce microphonic feedback and improve overall stability during high-output, high-gain playing.
