PRS 59/09 Bass Passive Humbucker Neck Pickup - Uncovered Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS 59/09 Bass Pickup brings a dose of iconic PRS tone to any electric guitar, introduced in 2009 as a custom-designed humbucker built by Paul Reed Smith to capture the sound of vintage guitars. This neck-position humbucker delivers an articulate voice rich in harmonics, with a hot output that hits a tube amplifier hard. This pickup is built for intermediate to professional guitarists looking to upgrade their neck-position tone with a genuine PRS voicing.
Product Overview
Built around Alnico II magnets, the 59/09 Bass Pickup delivers big, vintage-inspired tone with articulate note definition and rich harmonic content. It ships uncovered in black, with nickel screws and poles that give the pickup a clean, classic look on any guitar. Three-wire-plus-braided-shield wiring makes the 59/09 compatible with five-way blade or five-way rotary pickup selectors, giving players flexible switching options when installed. Whether used to round out a bridge humbucker's aggression or to anchor a guitar's smoother, warmer voice, this neck pickup is designed to supercharge an electric guitar's overall tonal character.
