B.Flat Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Hi everybody. I am posting this because though I have emailed Seymour Duncan with the query so far I have not received an answer. The question is: Can I use their SCPB 3 single coil passive and their SMB4A ( A= active or alnico?) with their STC-2P (passive) preamp? I cannot decipher if the SMB4A is active or passive. My crumbs of knowledge suggest that if the SMB4A is a low impedance it may not work with the passive model preamp. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated, especially by anyone who has used this configuration. I look forward to any advice on this. Brian Flat Rock n'roll mamma on a Saturday Night! Quote
Jimryan Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 The smb4a is passive. The "a" is alnico, I've got the ceramic version fitted on my P Quote
Jimryan Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Also, I've not used the pre, or the SCPB-3, but on my P I've paired a SPB-3 (quarter pounder) and the MM bucker at the bridge and its a great sounding combo on its on. I had the bucker wired in series on mine. Quote
