The description given is:

application
Moderate output, passive "soapbar" pickup for four- or five-string bass.

description
Passive alternative to battery-powered pickups for four and five-string bass players. The tone is simple and organic, with added warmth and punch.

complete setup
Direct replacement for EMG® 35 or 40. Calibrated neck and bridge set. Often used together with STC-2 or -3 Tone Circuits for optimal tonal control

basses
The full-length dual blades accommodate maximum string spacings up to 2.70" (68.5mm) for the four-string model and up to 3.10" (78.5mm) for the five-string model

What I want to know is:

  • Ceramic or Alnico magnets
  • duel coil or single coil windings
  • Will it give the classic 'Gibson' Soapbar sound, as RD Bass and Thunderbird
