Seymour Duncan APB-2 Lightnin' Rods For P-Bass Pickup
The Seymour Duncan APB-2 Lightnin' Rods is an active P-bass pickup engineered to deliver vintage character with the punch of modern amplification. This hand-built pickup slots directly into standard Fender American Standard P-bass cavities, making it an immediate upgrade path for players seeking articulate low-end response without extensive modification.
Tone & Electronics
Built around ceramic magnets and exposed Alnico 5 rod pole pieces, the APB-2 voices vintage P-bass warmth while the active circuitry boosts output to cut through dense mixes and deliver clarity on every note. The hum-cancelling split-coil design eliminates 60-cycle noise while preserving the organic midrange character P-bass players depend on.
Installation & Build Quality
Hand-crafted in Santa Barbara, CA, this pickup arrives with everything needed for installation: a 3-conductor lead wire, mounting hardware, and logo covers. The drop-in replacement format means no routing or modification required—it's a straightforward swap into your existing P-bass electronics cavity.
