Seymour Duncan AJB-5S Active 5-String Pickup Set For Jazz Bass

The Seymour Duncan AJB-5S delivers the articulate, focused character that defines modern active Jazz Bass tone. This set pairs responsive ceramic magnets with a fully discrete preamp, giving you the clarity and punch needed for tight ensemble work and recorded sessions. Built by hand in Santa Barbara, these pickups are engineered specifically for 5-string Jazz Bass construction and drop directly into compatible instruments.

Tone & Electronics

The discrete, ultra-quiet 9-volt preamp provides low impedance output and excellent dynamic range, ensuring clean signal transmission with minimal noise floor. Vacuum wax potting eliminates squeal and feedback, giving you stable performance across playing dynamics and styles.

Design & Build

Hand-built construction in Santa Barbara combines ceramic bar magnets with blade-style pole pieces that capture even string vibration across the full width of your bass. The 3-conductor lead wire integrates cleanly into wiring schemes, while included mounting hardware and springs ensure secure, repeatable installation.
