Seymour Duncan SJB-2B Hot 4-String Bridge Pickup For Jazz Bass

The Seymour Duncan SJB-2B Hot is a high-output bridge pickup engineered for jazz and vintage-voiced electric bass. This single-coil design delivers punchy mids and articulate top-end clarity while maintaining the warmth expected from classic jazz bass tones.

Tone & Output Character

With a DC resistance of 16.6 kΩ and a resonant peak at 3.8 kHz, this pickup emphasizes the midrange frequencies essential for cutting through a mix without sacrificing definition. The EQ voicing of 4/6/4 (Bass/Mid/Treble) balances low-end response with bright, present highs, making it responsive to dynamics and playing technique.

Construction & Installation

Built with Alnico V rod magnets and wax potted to eliminate microphonics, the SJB-2B resists feedback and unwanted noise common in high-output designs. The compact 3.71" × 0.71" footprint fits standard jazz bass bridge positions, and the included pickup cover allows for easy customization of tone and aesthetic.
