DESCRIPTION

Living up to its name, “Colossal,” this pickup has more of everything. Play them softly and they deliver an unmatched airiness to the notes; play them aggressively and they will blow your hair back. These passive pickups are designed to effortlessly respond to soft touch, slap, or aggressive pick attack with ease.

As with DiMarzio's game-changing Relentless™ pickups, they removed all the hard edges from the metal covers and added an arch to the top contour, bringing the sensing coils closer to the middle strings. These improvements increase the string balance and overall dynamic range.

The Colossal™ pickups are a fully humbucking design and are completely shielded, making them a better choice for both recording and live shows. These pickups can be used with the coils in series, parallel, or split configurations, making multiple sounds easily achievable without the need for digital filters. The Colossal™ Bridge and Neck can easily be combined with active electronics.

Using a thick .09375” circuit board baseplate as the foundation, the Colossal™ pickups are easy to install and use DiMarzio's quick connect cable system. The EMG®40-shaped soapbar pickups incorporate Neodymium magnets, producing significantly more output and dynamic range than traditional active or passive pickups.

To improve the balance when both pickups are used together, DiMarzio made the bridge position pickup louder than the neck position pickup. When the pickups are blended, you get a better volume match.

Colossal™ pickups have a richly detailed mid-range that growls, delivering notes with definition and openness, and they work well with dropped tunings. The highs are present and precise without harshness, and the lows are thunderous and tight, like the footsteps of a giant.

**Sorry international bassists, but US Dealers are not authorized to ship DiMarzio pickups outside of the US.
