Description
If you want that broken-in, dusty-amp tone without actually waiting 40 years for it, the Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Precision Bass gets you there. This is the twin-coil version, reverse wound/reverse polarity on the two bobbins so you get true humbucking hum cancellation without sacrificing the woody, slightly compressed growl that makes old P-Basses feel so good under the fingers.
Each pickup is hand fabricated using traditional winding methods and finished with classic push-back cloth braid hookup wire — the same style old-school builders relied on. Seymour Duncan ships these with aged black covers so they look the part alongside a relic’d bass or a worn Fender neck, plus schematics and mounting screws for a straightforward install.
- Regular “A” size top and bottom coils, 2.142″ long x 1.003″ wide each
- Total pickup height: .435″, magnet height: .531″
- Raised pole pattern on both top and bottom coils
- South/north magnet polarity, winding direction tc/tg
- DC resistance: 10.56K ohms
- Inductance: 6.50 henries, Q: 3.54
- Height adjustment via screws into the body cavity
Drop this into your P-Bass and you get that thump-and-grind combo that sits perfectly in a mix — punchy enough to cut through a live band, round enough to hold down a groove without stepping on the drums. If you’re chasing vintage P-Bass tone with modern noise-fighting reliability, this is the pickup for the gig bag.
