Description
If the standard Hot Jazz Bass set still leaves you wanting more punch, the SJB-3 Quarter Pounder set takes things further with fatter quarter-inch pole pieces and denser windings. The result is a true single-coil pickup with serious output, sharper attack, and the kind of sustain that lets notes bloom rather than fade. It’s a favorite for blues, classic rock, garage, heavy rock, classic metal, and nu-metal players who want their Jazz Bass to hit harder without losing clarity.
This is a matched, calibrated pair — bridge and neck — with the neck pickup built slightly narrower to fit correctly. The neck coil is wound reverse-wind/reverse-polarity, so when you run both pickups together you get natural hum cancellation instead of an unwanted 60-cycle buzz. Each pickup ships with its logo cover in place. For players chasing even more tonal shaping, this set pairs especially well with Seymour Duncan’s STC-2 or STC-3 Tone Circuits.
Rounding out the bundle is a set of Ernie Ball Extra Slinky Bass strings (2835), gauged .040/.060/.070/.095 for a bright, well-balanced voice that complements the SJB-3’s output nicely. Ernie Ball builds these in the Coachella Valley from carefully sourced, fresh raw materials, and they remain a go-to choice among touring and recording bassists across genres.
