Single Honey Badger Heavy Hitter 5 String Bass Pickup used in very good condition. Would sell as set with the matching P style pickup for the neck pickup position for an additional $50.00 plus shipping. Incredible bang for buck in the US made custom pickup sphere. The article below says it all.

The Heavy Hitter is a perfect microcosm of the Honey Badger ethos and approach. The concept may sound somewhat familiar, but quickly differs from other similar target statements: to create a modern voiced, hum-free, super Jazz Bass style pickup, while taking advantage of the increased space a soapbar’s shell allows. Each is comprised of two coils of relatively standard gauged wire per pickup, in an inline, split-coil configuration, with magnetic AlNiCo V pole pieces, and a vaguely cardboard-like bobbin. But that’s where the similarities to other offerings end. They wear removable Bartolini P2/P4 or EMG-shaped plastic or wooden covers, and the pole pieces are much larger in diameter than a standard Jazz Bass pickup’s and are centered under each string – similar to a MusicMan configuration. The coils differ, too; they are wound in such a way as to provide more depth from the lower strings and more brilliance from the higher ones (compared to your typical split-coil humbucker), providing what I would classify as a full-range tone, while actually still attaining a bit of the upper-mid “quack” that pure single-coil J-Bass pickups are known for. Going one step beyond, separate coil and magnet ground leads are provided, in case you may want to connect one to common ground and another to an isolated ground – such as is done with an Audere preamp.
