Description
If your four-string is cut for EMG 35 or 40 soapbars but you’re done feeding it batteries, the Seymour Duncan SSB-4 Phase 2 set is the direct swap you’ve been looking for. No electronics box, no dead-battery gigs — just passive pickups doing what passive pickups do best.
Tonally these sit in moderate-output territory, which means they’re not trying to slam your preamp into overdrive. Instead you get an organic, straightforward voice with a good dose of low-mid warmth and enough punch up front to keep your lines from getting buried in the mix. It’s the kind of sound that feels honest under your fingers — less processed, more instrument.
This is a matched pair: a calibrated neck and bridge pickup designed to work together, so your output and tonal balance stay consistent switching between the two. Full-length dual-blade construction handles string spacing up to 2.70″ (68.5mm), covering standard four-string layouts without hot or dead spots across the strings.
Want more shaping control? Pair this set with an STC-2 or STC-3 Tone Circuit for active EQ options while keeping that passive pickup character at the source.
