Kent Armstrong® Custom Series Claymore Bass Soapbar 4 Or 5 String Humbucker
This 4 or 5 string pickup is a classic soapbar with great tonal character. It can be used either active or passive mode, alone or in pairs. In parallel there is the characteristic CLICK of a Stingray® when popped, and in series it has the full, round growl of many classic bass pickups. The full-length bar pole-pieces allow any string spacing up to 80 mm to be used and play as hard as you wish without the fear of pulling a string out of the magnetic field. The widely spaced coils sample a fairly long section of the string, giving a high-tech bass sound. Great for 4 or 5 string bass builders and custom mods! 4 conductor wiring allows coil splitting, series/parallel, phase inversion, and more.

Great steel guitar pickups
I use these in a lot of my 8 string lap steel builds. They are excellent sounding humbuckers, and the multi wire leads are great for series/split/parallel switching, etc.

Excellent pickups
Great pickups for bass, but work really well for steel guitar as well. Love the 4 wire leads for switching options.
