Seymour Duncan SJ5S-70/74 Passive Single Coil Pickup Set For Jazz Bass

The SJ5S-70/74 delivers the articulate, punchy character that defines traditional jazz bass tone. Hand-wound and vacuum wax potted for squeal-free operation, this pickup set captures the vintage warmth and dynamic response essential to walking lines and chord work on five-string instruments. Built specifically to accommodate modern string spacing while respecting the sonic architecture of classic single-coil design.

Tone & Construction

Hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets paired with Forbon flatwork create a focused, articulate midrange character with natural compression and extended harmonic detail. The vintage output level integrates seamlessly into passive signal chains, preserving the natural dynamics of your instrument without tonal coloration.

Design & Specifications

Neck and bridge pickups are sized at 70mm and 74mm respectively, accommodating modern five-string bridge spacing up to 3.10" and neck spacing up to 3.00".
