This order channel is for a single pickup.  Go back a page and choose Mixed Sets of Bass Pickups if that's what you want.

We have invented a unique new dimension in Bass sound, we call it Bass Presence ... and like presence from Fender guitar pickups it makes the sound stand out from the mix, giving it an unusual 3D quality that commands attention and it sound better than ordinary pickups on small speakers and even cell phones.  But our Bass Presence is not in the treble range like guitar presence, it's in the middle midrange where it's most useful for bass and is produced by another of Kinman's patented inventions.  These pickups are very versatile

It's perfect for attention grabbing solos with dynamic tap, slap n smack techniques of the bass virtuoso.  However they are a versatile multifaceted chameleon, and can easily step back into the rhythm section after the applause subsides.  And we did it without active electronics so, "look Ma.... no batteries".

Nobody steals your THUNDER.

Sonic Characteristics:  Your 'E' string in particular will have as much definition, lively dynamics and tone as a top end multi-scale bass such as a Dingwall which are reknown for their solid performance on the 'E' and the 5th 'B' string. 

The Chameleon produces thick, chocolaty sound that has lower midrange prominence and a detailed gritty piano-like presence with round wound strings so that it doesn't need to be played loud in order to be heard.  Both pickup turned up full yields a wonderful surprise, a hollow but chunky gritty sound with extra bounce and presence, our personal favorite bass sound ... even at low room volume.  Scooped Bass sound that lacks midrange must be played thunderously loud to be heard, even then it's felt rather than heard and it struggles with definition.

Surprisingly superior for slap n pop style.  But, when played finger style with the tone rolled back a bit you'll be delighted how close to an upright bass your sound is (the extra dynamics impart the "springy sound" you hear from an upright bass).   These pickups are versatile and you won't need a Glockenklang or any other Eq preamp or even series switching or fuzz pedals to get these sounds! 

Also we engineered the bridge version to be a perfect match for the P-Bass neck pickup in PJ Basses. 

And one more thing ..... does the odd nasal character of the G string annoy you?  Well it certainly annoys us so we developed a special coil winding technique that has two benefits ...

• aligns the sound of the G string with the other strings by negating that annoying nasal character.  Now walking bass lines that culminate on the G string have a natural and pleasing progression of tone and the G doesn't stand out like the proverbial dogs balls.
• gets rid of that horrible empty tinny sound of fresh wound strings, even with lots of treble on the front of your amp.
