Seymour Duncan - pickups in perfection

Seymour Duncan is one of the world's leading brands for guitar and bass pickups. Since the 1970s, the name has stood for uncompromising quality, innovative design and American craftsmanship. The California-based company still manufactures its pickups by hand with great attention to detail - including the SJB-3S Quarter-Pound Jazz Bass Pickup Set.

The Quarter-Pound series is particularly popular with musicians looking for a powerful, aggressive sound with maximum expression. With oversized pole pieces and powerful Alnico V magnets, these pickups make a sonic statement. Whether you're upgrading a standard bass or swapping for more punch - with Seymour Duncan you get proven "Made in USA" quality.

Technical details of the Seymour Duncan SJB-3S Quarter-Pound Jazz Bass Pickup Set

The SJB-3S set consists of two single coil pickups: an SJB-3B for the bridge position and an SPB-3 for the neck position. Both pickups are fitted with oversized quarter-pound polepieces, which generate more magnetic field and therefore a higher signal strength. The result is a very loud, powerful tone with long sustain and a lot of presence - especially in the low frequencies.

The Alnico V magnets used ensure a powerful yet controlled sound with a defined attack and harmonious overtone spectrum. The combination of strong output and tonally balanced structure makes the set versatile - from heavy rock to precise funk to deep metal thunderstorms.

The DC resistance is 11.50 kOhm for the neck pickup and 13.70 kOhm for the bridge pickup. These values indicate an above-average output and enable excellent signal transmission - even with long cable runs or passive setups. The pickups are equipped with robust PVC connection cables and come in classic black - suitable for almost any bass design.

Installation is uncomplicated and suitable both for new builds and as an upgrade for existing basses. Thanks to their design, the pickups can also be used separately: Both models - SJB-3B and SPB-3 - are also available as single pickups, allowing for custom combinations and tonal experimentation with ease.
