Blackouts Bass Soapbar high-output active bass pickups were designed to make getting an aggressive bass tone simple. Instead of having to EQ a lesser pickup into submission, we voiced the Blackouts with big bass tone in mind. We went all-in on this one, with a huge dynamic range, thunderous lows, and crisp highs that deliver forceful raw energy, all focused into a super-responsive soapbar. The 5-string version extends those qualities to handle even more boom.

As a founding member of Cannibal Corpse, Alex Webster’s monstrous abilities have been pushing bass to the extreme for decades. The bass break on Hammer Smashed Face alone has influenced many a metalhead. So iconic is this performance that Seymour Duncan had no choice but to name this set Hammer Smashed Bass.

This signature Blackout bass pickup’s preamp was voiced in conjunction with Alex to offer players the same aggressive attack and expressive tone that he is known for.
