Description
The Quarter Pound Jazz Bass bridge pickup takes the classic J-bass voice and cranks up the muscle. Seymour Duncan built this 5-string version around quarter-inch diameter Alnico 5 rod magnets and a custom overwound coil, so you get noticeably more output than a stock single-coil while keeping the articulate, detailed top end that makes Jazz Bass pickups so addictive.
Expect an authoritative attack with real string-to-string sensitivity, especially useful on a 5-string where clarity on the low B is everything. The overwound coil adds grit and sustain, but the vintage-style construction keeps the response from turning muddy or one-dimensional – it’s a hotter pickup that still breathes.
- Alnico 5 rod magnets, quarter-inch diameter
- Custom overwound coil for higher output
- Forbon flatwork construction
- Vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic squeal
- Black cover included
- Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA
Pair it with the matching 5-string Quarter Pound neck pickup for a fully cohesive set – balanced output front to back, with the bridge unit supplying the bite and the neck filling in the low-end warmth. A straightforward, drop-in upgrade for players who want their Jazz Bass to hit harder without sacrificing the character that made them fall for the platform in the first place.
