Description
Some pickups try to reinvent the Jazz bass tone. This one just gets it right, even with a fifth string thrown into the mix. The SJ5N-70/74 takes the DNA of a great ’62 Jazz Bass — that woody warmth, the mid-range growl, and the slightly aggressive bite that sits perfectly in a mix — and stretches it to cover extended range without losing what makes it special.
- Vintage output single coil built specifically for the neck position on 5-string Jazz basses
- Coil geometry and winding reworked from the standard 4-string design to handle the wider string spacing and low B without going muddy or thin
- Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA using hand ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and Forbon flatwork
- Vacuum wax potted to kill microphonic squeal on stage or in the studio
- Sized to fit traditional Fender 5-string Jazz basses and comes with a black cover
- For modern Jazz V models, grab the 6770 instead for correct fit
- Pair with the matching 7074 bridge pickup for a full matched set
If you’ve always loved the classic J-tone but felt like the low B got left out of the conversation, this pickup brings it back in. Every note down to the basement retains that articulate, growling character Jazz basses are known for — no compromises for the extra string.
