For players who like their bass tone thick, punchy and hard-hitting, the Eternal Thumper P-Style Bass Pickup delivers serious authority.
With an overwound coil and a combined DC resistance of around 14kΩ, the Thumper pushes your amp harder, producing deep, earthy lows, aggressive mids and a powerful attack. It’s ideal for heavy rock, gritty blues and bass tones that demand serious presence.
If you want your basslines to rumble with authority, cut through a busy mix and respond with raw energy, the Thumper was built for exactly that job.
More Power - Without the Mud
Unlike traditional vintage-style P pickups, the Thumper is wound hotter to increase output, compression and harmonic content.
The result is a thicker low-end and more forceful midrange while still maintaining the clarity needed for articulate bass playing. Even with higher gain settings, the pickup retains strong note definition and dynamic response.
The split-coil construction ensures natural hum cancellation, keeping the signal quiet while delivering huge tone.
Hand-Wound for Maximum Authority
Each Thumper pickup is hand scatter-wound using heavier-gauge wire, producing a dense, powerful coil structure designed for maximum output and sustain.
The pickup’s construction emphasises:
• deep, chest-thumping lows
• bold, punchy mids
• clear highs that stay smooth and controlled
— making it ideal for modern rock bassists who need power without sacrificing articulation.
