Description
The SJ5N-67/70 takes everything great about a ’62 Jazz Bass — that warm, slightly aggressive attack and mid-range growl — and rethinks it for five strings. Rather than just widening a standard J pickup, Duncan reworked the coil geometry and winding configuration so the low B gets the same articulate, woody character that traditionally only lived on the top four strings. It’s vintage output, so expect dynamic response and plenty of touch sensitivity rather than a hot, compressed signal.
- Neck position single coil for 5-string Jazz V basses
- Fits the wider cover size used on modern Fender Jazz V basses (for older 5-strings, look at the 70-74 model instead)
- Hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets for classic J-tone
- Forbon flatwork construction
- Vacuum wax potted to kill microphonic squeal
- Comes with black cover
- Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA
Want the full matched setup? Pair this neck pickup with Duncan’s 6770 bridge model for a cohesive, balanced 5-string Jazz Bass voice from top to bottom.
