Description
If you’ve ever wished your Jazz Bass hit harder without losing that snap on the top end, this is the neck pickup to look at. The Quarter Pound takes Seymour Duncan’s Hot single-coil formula and turns it up a notch — quarter-inch pole pieces and dense coil windings give you a fuller, punchier response with sustain that just keeps going. It’s the kind of pickup that lets a bass line sit fat in the mix but still cut through when you dig in.
This is the neck-position version, so it’s voiced to pair naturally with a matching bridge pickup, though it holds its own solo too. Players leaning into blues, classic rock, garage, heavy rock, classic metal, or nu-metal will find this suits aggressive playing styles especially well — think players who want their tone to feel physical, not just loud.
Practical details for gigging bassists:
- True single-coil design, not a stacked or humbucker-style unit
- Reverse wound so it cancels hum when used together with a compatible bridge pickup
- Comes with a logo cover for that classic Duncan look
Drop this into your Jazz Bass build or retrofit and you get more punch and sustain without sacrificing the single-coil character that made the platform a standard in the first place. Straightforward install, straightforward payoff — heavier tone, same familiar Jazz Bass feel.
