Description
If your P/J bass needs more shove without losing its voice, this pairing gets you there fast. The SPB-3 Quarter Pound sits in the neck (P) position and uses oversized quarter-inch pole pieces to grab a wider magnetic window off the string, translating into a bigger, punchier low end with real midrange muscle. It’s Seymour Duncan’s most popular Basslines model for a reason—rock players lean on it for aggression, but the tonal range goes well beyond metal and heavy rock into just about anything that needs authority.
- SPB-3: black logo cover, wiring diagram and mounting screws included
- SJB-3B: true single-coil bridge pickup with high output and sharp attack, also quarter-inch pole pieces for full-bodied response and long sustain, logo cover included
The SJB-3B was built for players who found the Hot Jazz bridge pickup great but wanted even more bite—same idea, dialed further up. Together, the SPB-3 and SJB-3B give you a P/J platform that’s fat up front and cutting in the bridge, with plenty of headroom to blend. Pair the set with a Duncan STC-2 or STC-3 tone circuit if you want to shape things even further.
Rounding out the bundle is a set of Ernie Ball Extra Slinky bass strings (2835), gauged .040-.060-.070-.095. Wound in California from fresh raw materials for a bright, balanced tone, these are the strings you’ll see on stage with more touring bassists than you can count—an easy way to make sure your new pickups are hitting fresh strings from day one.
