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

As with our game-changing Relentless™ pickups, we 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™ is a fully humbucking design and is completely shielded, making it a better choice for both recording and live shows. The pickup coils can be used in series, parallel, or split configurations, making multiple sounds easily achievable without the need for digital filters. The Colossal™ can easily be combined with active electronics.

Using a thick .09375” circuit board baseplate as the foundation, the Colossal™ is easy to install and uses our quick connect cable system. The soapbar-shaped (EMG40® sized, 37.75mm x 101.25mm) pickup incorporates 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, we made the bridge position pickup louder than the neck position pickup. When the pickups are blended, you get a better volume match.

The Colossal™ Bridge has a richly detailed mid-range that growls, delivering notes with definition and openness, and it works 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.
