Claymore Soapbar Bass PU 4 or 5 String Bass Pickup Bridge Position
CERAMIC MAGNET / D.C. =15.5K-
The Claymore HB4E3B is a modern soapbar voiced for players who want power, clarity, and real tonal flexibility. Designed for 4‑ and 5‑string basses, it can run in either passive or active setups, making it equally at home in traditional builds and contemporary high‑performance instruments.
Inside the housing, the full‑length bar pole‑piece ensures consistent response across any string spacing up to 80 mm. The widely spaced dual coils capture a longer section of the string, producing a clean, articulate character with firm lows, expressive mids, and a bright, controlled top end. In parallel, the pickup delivers a sharp, percussive snap reminiscent of classic Stingray‑style attack; in series, it shifts into a thicker, rounder growl with the authority of a traditional humbucker.
With 4‑conductor wiring, the HB4E3B opens the door to coil‑splitting, series/parallel switching, phase options, and more — giving builders and modders a wide palette of usable tones from a single unit. Whether used alone or paired with a matching neck pickup, the Claymore HB4E3B offers a confident, mix‑forward bridge voice wrapped in a sleek soapbar format that suits modern bass design.
101mm length
36mm width
18mm height
