Description
If you dig the honest, punchy feel of a single-coil Tele Bass but want more meat underneath it, the SCPB-2 is Seymour Duncan’s answer. It’s built on the same true single-coil formula as their Vintage design, just wound with more coil turns to push output and thicken up the low end — while keeping the note definition and growl that makes single-coil P-Basses feel so direct under your fingers.
This isn’t a hum-canceling split-coil pickup dressed up as something else — it’s a genuine single coil, so you get that raw, straightforward pluck response and midrange snap, just fattened up for players who want a fuller, ballsier voice out of their bass without switching pickup types entirely. Drop it into an American Standard Single Coil Precision Bass and it slots right in as a direct replacement, no modification drama required.
Seymour Duncan hand-builds each SCPB-2 in Santa Barbara, CA, using hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and Forbon flatwork for a warm, organic top end. Every pickup is vacuum wax potted, so you can dig in hard on stage without picking up squeal or microphonic feedback from stacked amps and monitors.
