Delano THE HYBRID 4

An uncompromising pickup that combines the two most legendary bass sounds in one package! Single coil bridge pickup J-Bass sounds and Sting Ray Humbucker sounds are integrated.

Part 1: J-Bass
Single coil bridge pickup with the immortal characteristics of early 60's pickups. AlNiCo V magnets, classic fibre bobbin and gauge 42 wire.

Part 2: Sting Ray Humbucker
Low resistance neck coil with 9,5mm AlNiCo V magnets. Authentic sound is guaranteed in this setting, thanks to the specially engineered bridge J-coil: the second MM-coil is integrated inside!

Switching concept:
The integrated switch manager lets you get both of these great classic sounds at the touch of a toggle, each one reconstructed exactly in its original form with all its strengths and nuances of character: Passive function in single-coil mode, active function with the DELANO SONAR 2- or 3-band preamp activated in Humbucker mode. The internal switching of the pickup is lightning fast, too! For maximum sound authenticity we recommend the custom neck version of the Delano J-single coil JC 4 AL/H for the neck position. With both pickups switched on, this JJ-arrangement typically produces a noise-free output.

No trouble with treble:
The 'Hybrid' set includes a specially designed treble pot that works as a typical passive tone control for the J-sounds in the passive mode and doubles as the active treble EQ in the Sting Ray setting. The neutral setting is located conveniently in the middle position; when switching, it’s easy to get the basic settings you need.

Package includes the HYBRID 4-string pickup, switch and Hybrid potentiometer.
