Description
If you love the growl of a J-style bridge pickup but hate the 60-cycle buzz that comes with it, Suhr’s Humphrey design solves that problem the right way. It’s a stacked, noiseless pickup engineered specifically to work with an active Classic J 2-band preamp, giving you a much cleaner signal-to-noise ratio on stage or in the studio without sacrificing the punch and articulation bassists expect from the bridge position.
Where the Vintage-voiced pickups chase the character of early ’60s Jazz Basses, the Humphrey is built for players who want that same woody, acoustic resonance but with modern-day quiet. You still get the snap and growl a bridge pickup is known for — it’s just delivered without the hum, so you can dig in hard on a noisy stage or a hot studio mic without worrying about interference creeping into the mix.
This is the bridge pickup from the Humphrey set, DC resistance measured at 8.1K ohms. Drop it into your Classic J or any similarly designed Jazz Bass-style instrument to unlock a broad range of tones — from warm and growly to powerful, hi-fi modern — all while keeping the low end tight and the noise floor near silent.
