Fishman Rare Earth Bajo Quinto Soundhole Pickup | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Fishman Rare Earth Bajo Quinto pickup delivers professional-grade amplified tone specifically designed for the unique sonic characteristics of Bajo Quinto guitars. This active humbucking soundhole pickup features cutting-edge neodymium magnet technology that captures the warm, full-bodied sound of your Bajo Quinto with exceptional string balance and acoustic clarity. With stacked coils to eliminate unwanted noise, accessible thumbwheel volume control, and simple plug-and-play installation requiring no instrument modification, this pickup provides touring musicians and recording artists with reliable amplification that preserves the authentic character of traditional Mexican regional music.

Product Overview

The Rare Earth Bajo Quinto pickup showcases Fishman's expertise in acoustic instrument amplification through its sophisticated neodymium magnet structure. Unlike standard magnetic pickups, this advanced design captures each string with remarkable balance and clarity, essential for the Bajo Quinto's complex ten-string configuration. The humbucking design with stacked coils effectively rejects electromagnetic interference from stage lighting and sound systems, ensuring clean, noise-free performance even in challenging live environments.

Installation is refreshingly straightforward with the Rare Earth's completely non-invasive design. The pickup mounts securely in your Bajo Quinto's soundhole without drilling, cutting, or any permanent alteration to your instrument. The pre-wired output jack can be conveniently endpin-mounted for clean cable management, while miniature batteries mount discreetly on the pickup's underside. This thoughtful engineering means you can install the pickup in minutes and remove it just as easily if needed, preserving your instrument's originality and resale value.

The active electronics deliver impressive performance efficiency with low-current preamp design that provides up to 240 hours of operation between battery changes. This exceptional battery life means you can confidently perform multiple gigs and recording sessions without worrying about mid-performance power failure. The accessible thumbwheel volume control allows quick adjustments without removing your hands from playing position, essential for dynamic performances in norteño, conjunto, and other regional Mexican music styles where the Bajo Quinto plays a foundational rhythmic role.
