WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE LECOMPTE TRIPLE THREAT MUSCIMAN® BASS PICKUP?

In Parallel Wiring, these have very full low mids, and a really nice slap tone reminiscent of the Louis Johnson tone of the 70s. In Series, we lose a touch of the top end and get a darker tone. It is punchy, warm, and responsive. Our pickup demo talent, Andy, really dug these pickups and in both winding iterations.

Note: This pickup was recorded in both parallel and series wirings. This is something that be done with majority of Music Man style bass pickups. A player can choose to hardwire the pickup in parallel or series, or can have a switch to access both. Most commonly, the MM style of pickup is wired in parallel.

Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
