Description
Extending vintage Jazz Bass tone across five strings isn’t just a matter of adding a coil — it takes real re-engineering. Seymour Duncan reworked the coil geometry and winding on the SJ5-S to account for the wider string spread and extra low end of a 5-string neck, so that low B stays articulate instead of turning to mud, while the top strings keep that snappy, scooped J-tone players chase.
This is a matched neck and bridge set, calibrated together for balanced output and proper voicing between positions — no guesswork pairing individual pickups. It ships in the 70mm neck / 74mm bridge spacing, which covers a wide range of popular 5-string basses (not the narrower 67/70 spacing used on Fender Jazz V models). Both pickups include a logo cover, and the neck cover matches the bridge cover in size for a clean, consistent look under the strings.
- Passive single-coil Jazz Bass-style set, voiced for 5-string instruments
- Calibrated neck/bridge pairing for even tonal balance
- 70mm neck / 74mm bridge spacing — fits many popular 5-string basses
- Logo covers included; neck and bridge covers matched in size
- Pairs well with Seymour Duncan STC-2 or STC-3 Tone Circuits for extra tonal shaping
Genres like country, blues, pop, and classic rock all live comfortably in this pickup’s wheelhouse, and it’s found favor with players including Tad Kinchla of Blues Traveler and Hugh McDonald of Bon Jovi — proof that extending the range doesn’t mean sacrificing the vintage J-Bass voice.
