Product Description
The Muy Grande Powerbucker Bridge is a high-output passive bass pickup serving up presence and full-bodied tone previously found only in active pickups. But you won’t find any batteries here, just a pickup that runs on pure grit and muscle and is hand-crafted to satisfy the passive bass lovers who want to avoid sterile, over-processed tone. And here’s the secret sauce: with its roots in our “True Splitting” family, the Powerbucker can be coil-split to go from thick humbucker growl to sizzling single-coil bite at the flip of a switch. Saddle up and feel the fire.
Tone Features:
- High-Output Clarity: Punchy and expressive, with all the harmonic detail bass players crave
- Analog Attitude: No active circuitry. No batteries. Just tone that plays well with tube amps and analog rigs
- Dual Personality: Built with coil-splitting for true single-coil or humbucker versatility

Muy Grande bridge Powerbucker
Hi Dave, these are my all time favorite, go to bridge bass pickups. I have them in two of my bass guitars, and always play, comeback to, and love the sound of my basses with these in them. Awesome output with that active pickup vibe, but with that beautiful organic passive tone!

Everything you want plus some
After 35 years playing bass I wanted something new and different and when I couldn't find the perfect bass to scratch that itch I built my own! I had researched every major bass pickup manufacturers offerings and chose the Rio Grande Muy Grande Powerbucker to hold down the fort for my bridge location. I am impressed with its smooth tones at one end and the aggressiveness of its attack at the other end. The Muy Grande is everything you'll need plus some when it comes pure brute force while still having good manners.
