Description
Some players assume the classic Jazz Bass snarl belongs to 4-string basses only. Seymour Duncan disagreed. The SJ5B-67/70 takes the attitude of a great ’62 Jazz Bass — that warm low end, the sneaky midrange bite, and the vocal-like J-tone — and reworks the coil geometry and winding to make it translate properly across a wider string spread. The result is a bridge pickup that keeps its character intact even when your B string is doing the heavy lifting, instead of turning muddy or thin like poorly-adapted 5-string pickups often do.
- Vintage-output passive single coil, designed for the bridge position
- Sized for the wider cover used on modern 5-string Jazz V basses
- Hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets for that traditional J pull and dynamic response
- Forbon flatwork construction
- Vacuum wax potted to kill microphonic squeal on stage
- Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA
- Ships with a black cover
Own an older 5-string Jazz Bass? Check your cover size first — earlier instruments need the 70-74 model instead, as covers differ between generations. For a fully matched voicing front to back, pair this bridge pickup with its neck counterpart, the 6770.
If your low B has always felt like it’s fighting the rest of your tone, this is the fix — same Jazz Bass DNA, just built to handle five strings the right way.
