The newly designed SB range of 1972 did away with the 1971 version's single-coil pickups, in favour of black plastic humbuckers. Each pickup is spring-mounted to a black plastic surround, so height adjustable. The SB humbuckers are potted (filled with resin), preventing examination of the windings. The images below show the pickup mounted in an SB bass, the pickup underside, and the components that complete the pickup assembly. Typical D.C. resistance for this pickup is around 6.2kΩ, front or back.

Gibson SB400 1973
Slightly reluctant sale of one of the rarest Gibson basses made. Only made for around 18 months this was one of the last 20 made before production ceased in 1973.
