Description
If you love the Jazz Bass growl but hate the 60-cycle hum that comes with a single-coil neck pickup, the STK-J2 Hot Stack solves that problem without gutting your tone. It’s built as a hum-canceling stack, so you get the noiseless operation of a humbucker while keeping the punchy, articulate character bass players actually want.
Seymour Duncan started with the noise-free Classic Stack design and dialed things up: more output, thicker mids, and a bit more push through the front end of your amp. That means your rock and driving lines get extra grit and presence without turning brittle or harsh when you dig in. It’s still recognizably a Jazz Bass voice, just with more meat on the bone.
This is a direct drop-in for the neck position on any 4-string Fender American Standard Jazz Bass, so there’s no routing or modification needed. Pair it with the Hot Stack bridge pickup (STK-J1), which is slightly overwound to balance against this neck unit, and you get a matched set built for consistent output and tone across both pickups.
- Alnico 5 rod magnets for a punchy, dynamic response
- Forbon flatwork construction
- 4-conductor leadwire for flexible wiring options
- Vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic squeal
- Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA
For gigging bassists who need quiet stages and a bit more low-end authority without abandoning that classic Jazz Bass snap, this is the neck pickup to build around.
