Seymour Duncan SJM-3B Quarter Pound Bridge Pickup For Jaguar vs Seymour Duncan SCPB-1 Vintage Single Coil Pickup For P-Bass
The SJM-3B is a bright, high-output single-coil for Jaguar guitars suited to indie, post-punk, and surf; the SCPB-1 is a warm, lower-output vintage P-Bass pickup for jazz, funk, and restoration work. These are instruments from entirely different families—guitar versus bass—so the choice depends on what instrument you own, not tone preference alone.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.
