Seymour Duncan SJB-1B Vintage 4-String Bridge Pickup For Jazz Bass

The Seymour Duncan SJB-1B is a hand-crafted vintage Jazz Bass bridge pickup that delivers the warm, articulate character of classic single-coil design. Built with Alnico V rod magnets and period-correct construction, this pickup captures the sonic immediacy and tonal clarity that defined the original instruments. It's a direct drop-in replacement engineered to restore or refine the bridge position on an American Standard Jazz Bass without modification.

Tone & Output Character

The 9.5k DC resistance and 4.9 kHz resonant frequency establish a focused, punchy midrange with articulate string definition—essential for cutting through a mix in ensemble settings. The vintage output level maintains dynamic responsiveness while preserving the natural dynamics of your playing technique, avoiding the compressed feel of overwound modern pickups.

Construction & Specifications

Hand-ground Alnico V magnets provide the harmonic complexity and touch sensitivity characteristic of Seymour Duncan's vintage reissue approach. The pickup comes factory-wound with single conductor cloth hookup wire (waxed and tinned) for reliable performance and classic aesthetic, paired with a black non-logo cover that maintains clean appearance on any bass finish.
