Description
If you’ve ever wanted that bark and bite from the bridge position on your J-bass without losing low-end warmth, this is the pickup Seymour Duncan built for exactly that. The SJB-1 bridge model is a true single-coil, wound and voiced to match the original vintage Jazz Bass formula — nothing modernized, nothing scooped out. Hand-ground Alnico 5 magnets pair with moderate coil windings to keep the fundamental full and round while still cutting through a busy mix with that unmistakable Jazz Bass edge.
Drop it in solo or pair it with the matching SJB-1 neck pickup (reverse-wound for hum cancellation when both are engaged together) and you get the classic push-pull growl players lean on for country twang, blues shuffle, pop sessions, and classic rock backbones. It’s the kind of tone that sits right in the pocket live and translates honestly on a recording — no artificial brightness, just the real vintage character.
- True single-coil design, vintage-correct spec
- Hand-ground Alnico 5 magnets
- Moderate windings for warmth with clarity
- Includes waxed cloth hookup cable
- Non-logo cover included
- Bridge position version (pairs with reverse-wound neck model for hum-canceling)
An easy, affordable upgrade for anyone chasing authentic Jazz Bass tone — and a solid pick if you’re shopping stocking stuffers or gifts under $100 for the bassist in your life.
