The T1 pickups are humbuckers with two separate, individually mounted coils. These pickups provide a tight bass response, punchy mid-range, and clear high-end. With the ability to adjust the height of each coil individually, you have complete control over the tone of your bass. Its Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ allows for precise tonal shaping. You can also activate the passive-only operation, cutting out the EQ circuit and allowing you to fine-tune your bass tone even further. Plus, the 3-way Mid frequency switch on the BTB7MS you can choose between 250, 450, and 700 Hz, tailoring your mid-range frequencies to suit your style and genre.
