- sharc basses can be delivered with custom-made Harry Häussel pickups or with Bartolini high-definition soapbar types.
All these pickups are low-hum multi-coil types offering a warm brilliant sound. The possibilities are even enlarged by the new electronic circuit of the sharc.
As an option the ABM piezo bridge is available as shown in the picture.
Adding some piezo components to the sound gives you a beautiful attack and a warm and shiny treble sound.
More piezo components change the sharc nearly into an acoustic bass. This should be considered especially for fretless versions.
