WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE DELANO SBC TF TIMES SQUARE (SERIES WIRING) BASS PICKUPS?

The Times Square Soapbars from Delano have a fairly even sound, with a slight bump in the upper mid while not having the low mid bump that many pickups have. The lows are warm and pillowy. Cool pickup in looks and sound.

Note: The pickup used for this video is the Delano Times Square SBC5 TF, a 5 string pickup. The 4,5 & 6 string sizes/shapes will sound similar, but not exact as they will use different length magnets. Delano is engineering them to sound as close to each other as possible.

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

WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE DELANO SBC TF TIMES SQUARE (PARALLEL WIRING) BASS PICKUP?

Wired in parallel, the Times Square set has some hints of a bladed Stingray tonally. The mid range is a bit scooped as we would expect from a parallel wiring. These pickups are nice and tight though, and the top end is pleasantly airy.

WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE DELANO TIMES SQUARE (SINGLE COIL WIRING) BASS PICKUPS?

These are excellent in single coil mode…similar characteristics as the parallel, but very open with a great frequency response. An audible reminder of why we like to coil tap dual coils.
