Description
Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio TB Chrome Cover Pickup Set
Built for players who need single-coil articulation in the neck and middle with serious bridge firepower, this signature three-pickup set delivers the tonal flexibility to handle everything from clean, responsive rhythm work to cutting lead tones on stage. The chrome covers provide a refined aesthetic while the handcrafted construction ensures consistent performance across neck, middle, and bridge positions. This is a purpose-built solution for guitarists seeking balanced output and tonal versatility across all three pickup zones without sacrificing reliability under live conditions.
Tonal Character & Output
The neck and middle positions feature moderate-output single-coil voicings with carefully mixed Alnico magnet grades—Alnico 5 under the low strings, Alnico 4 under the highs on the neck, and Alnico 2 under the highs on the middle—yielding articulate, responsive character that sits well in a mix and defines your part clearly. The bridge position employs a high-output Trembucker with Alnico V magnets, designed to cut through a full band with authority while maintaining definition without excessive harshness, making it dependable for live performance and recording alike.
Design & Construction
Handmade in Santa Barbara, California, these pickups reflect meticulous assembly and quality control built for road use. The Tele-style neck pickup pairs with a Strat-style voiced middle pickup in a Tele-style rhythm-sized footprint, allowing seamless integration into offset and solid-body platforms with no modification headaches. Chrome covers protect the coils while contributing to the set's polished, professional appearance that holds up under stage lights and frequent handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What guitar types can these pickups be installed in?
The Tele-style neck pickup and Strat-style voiced middle pickup in Tele-style rhythm-sized footprint are designed for seamless integration into offset and solid-body platforms. You should verify your guitar's pickup cavity routing matches these specifications before purchase.
Why are different Alnico magnet grades used in each pickup?
The neck position uses Alnico 5 under the low strings and Alnico 4 under the highs for balanced articulation; the middle uses Alnico 5 lows and Alnico 2 highs for responsive character; the bridge uses Alnico V for high-output punch and definition. This mixed-magnet approach creates natural compression and tonal balance across all three positions.
How does the output compare between the neck, middle, and bridge pickups?
The neck and middle positions feature moderate-output single-coil voicings designed for articulate, responsive tones, while the bridge position employs a high-output Trembucker that cuts through with authority while maintaining definition. This intentional output curve allows smooth tonal transitions across all positions without excessive harshness in the bridge.
