| BASS POSITION PICKUPS |
| A wide variety of PRS Pickups are available as aftermarket replacement parts, both in nickel and gold finishes. Prices range from $120 to $135. The following bass pickups represent current pickup listings with descriptions. Vintage Bass: Stock on Custom 24s, CE 24s and Standard 24s. This alnico pickup provides round, clear tone to complement the HFS and also works well when coil tapped. This pickup is compatible with the 5 position rotary pickup selector. Dragon II Bass: Stock on Custom 22s, CE 22s and Standard 22s. The nickel silver cover and tweaking have resulted in a rich bass position humbucker with enough output and clarity for any style of playing. This pickup is compatible with the 5 position rotary pickup selector. McCarty Bass: Stock on the McCarty Model and McCarty Standard. Using a unique manufacturing process inspired by Ted McCarty, combined with a vintage alnico magnet and special nickel silver cover, give this McCarty pickup a nice vintage tone. Archtop Bass: Stock on the archtop and hollowbodies. This is also a clearer, less powerful version of our McCarty bass pickup. The pickup was specifically designed to match well with the PRS Piezo system and is good for many styles of music including jazz and rhythm guitar. PRS #6 Bass: Stock on the Singlecut Trem. Clear, warm and extremely well balanced across the entire tonal spectrum (disc. 2004). PRS #7 Bass: Stock on the Singlecut. It is a full range pickup with vintage alive characteristics. It is also highly recommended and used on stage by many touring bands. Dragon Bass: Not currently stock on any model. This pickup has a great combination of rich, warm bass with sweet in.angelic in. high end. The vintage alnico magnet and winding process result in a pickup that is beautiful for solos and rhythm. This pickup is compatible with the 5 position rotary pickup selector. Santana Bass: Stock on the Santana II. On many occasions, Carlos Santana has taken guitars out of the PRS shipping room and used them in concert that evening. This is the pickup he originally came to rely upon and continues to be one of his favorite bass pickups. Santana III Bass: Stock on the Santana III. Again Carlos' pickup of choice - this pickup is essentially a Santana bass pickup with a cover. It has less output than the Santana III treble pickup resulting in the perfect combination. Tremonti Bass: Stock on the Mark Tremonti Signature model. The Tremonti Bass pickup features an alnico magnet and is the perfect compliment to the Tremonti Treble pickup. This is the same pickup Mark uses in concert and in the studio for is rhythm sounds. Artist Bass: Driven by vintage alnico, this neck pickup has a unique and beautiful tone. The winding is a little hotter than the Vintage Bass. |
