Description
Seymour Duncan Duff McKagan P-J Bass Pickup Set
This signature pickup set captures the aggressive, articulate character that defined bass work across hard rock and alternative sessions. The combination of a Hot Stack Jazz Bridge and Quarter Pound Precision Neck pickup provides clarity in the lows and punchy midrange cuts that sit forward in dense, guitar-driven mixes without sacrificing warmth or sustain—essential for cutting through packed tracking sessions.
Tone & Output Character
The Quarter Pound Precision neck pickup features large-diameter alnico 5 magnets paired with high-output coils, delivering thick, defined low-end with exceptional articulation for clean tracking and clear DI captures. The Hot Stack Jazz bridge adds bright, focused treble and upper-midrange detail, resulting in a naturally scooped yet aggressive voice that works across rock, alternative, and heavy productions where bass definition matters during mixing.
Design & Installation
Both pickups are hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA to Seymour Duncan's exacting standards. The set is engineered to fit most standard PJ routing configurations, making installation straightforward on compatible instruments without requiring additional modifications—keeping setup time minimal and letting you focus on tracking.
