Articulation, power, and that exhilarating midrange growl... what more could you ask for in bass pickups? The Kingfisher 4 BH pickups offer all these tonal qualities and more. Their incredible responsiveness produces simply face-scrunching sound that you won’t be able to get enough of. Whilst retaining a gorgeous underlying warmth, these pickups deliver a superb top end that sparkles beautifully. The low end and midrange then offer all that rumbling, growly goodness that any bassist craves. Let loose and obliterate your speakers.
It's not just ground-breaking electronics that make this bass truly heavenly, but also the ash body and neck-through construction. Ash delivers a resonant tone that that encompasses a scooped midrange, allowing for some brightness to seep through. Its quick attack is ideal for fast fretting techniques and its articulate dynamic range promises a thrilling performance. The flame maple veneer top then adds more stability and grants you even more crisp articulation. Teaming with these brilliant tonewoods is a neck-through construction that produces shimmering sustain, ensuring those high frequencies ring out with beautiful transparency and crystal-clear definition. It delivers a superbly tight low end too, for both richness and fantastic attack. Complementing the neck-through construction is a Hipshot TransTone bridge. Its string-through-body and top-load build adds a real punch whilst its unwavering stability accommodates tight string tension and balances a focused sound with even more sustain.
Maple and walnut… a divine combination. Just the thought of it is scrumptious. But the sound is even better. This luscious tonewood duo has been used for the neck and it promises brightness, clarity, and ever-growing sonic potential. Maple delivers incredible definition that separates the notes of even the most complex chords, granting you sublime quality of sound. Its focused and tight tonal capabilities are perfect for gigging with because it means you will never be hindered by that dreaded muddy sound. Its walnut accompaniment then balances out such brightness with a woody midrange. Better still, walnut's tone becomes warmer with age, so you can count on years of spectacular playing and breath-taking sound.
Lying underneath your fingertips will be a ravishing rosewood fretboard, something which PRS have relied upon for years for its exquisite tonal and practical capabilities. Rocket from fret to fret at lightning-fast speed, rosewood's smooth finish will never slow you down. It also evens out any harsh frequencies, so you won’t be impeded by any piercing notes that sound like they shouldn’t be there. Perform with pure magnificence across the whole frequency range.
