When the Jazz Bass was born, the music world was once again marked by fantastic new sonic options for a growing community of electric bassists. These pickups are the perfect reproduction of the early 1960s Jazz Bass single coils. Seymour Duncan Vintage Jazz Bass pickups stay true to the originals by capturing that warm tone with just the right amount of mids.
The neck pickup is full and provides beautiful, broad lows without lacking precision and attack. It is wired RWRP (reverse wound, reverse polarity) to function as a humbucker when combined with the bridge position. The bridge pickup is punchy yet smooth and adds brightness that perfectly balances the neck pickup.
Since 1978, Seymour Duncan has handcrafted all its Fender vintage pickup replicas using the most faithful techniques and materials from the golden era: baseplate, wiring, coils, magnets. These two pickups come with black covers without logos.
