Seymour Duncan SCPB-2 Hot Single Coil Pickup For P-Bass
The SCPB-2 captures punchy, articulate bass with elevated output that cuts through dense mixes while preserving classic single-coil character. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup bridges traditional Precision Bass tone with modern aggression, working as a direct drop-in replacement for American Standard single-coil P-Bass models and bringing clarity and presence to recorded and live sessions alike.
Tone & Magnetic Design
The 4.3 kHz resonant peak emphasizes upper-midrange definition and articulation, allowing your bass to sit clearly in a mix without losing fundamental warmth. Hand ground Alnico 5 rod magnets provide the harmonic complexity and responsiveness that define Seymour Duncan's signature voicing, delivering both clarity and musicality across the frequency spectrum for versatile recording and performance.
Construction & Durability
Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback while preserving tonal clarity, ensuring studio-ready performance with minimal noise in your signal chain. The PVC lead wire cable delivers reliable signal transmission with minimal interference, and Forbon flatwork construction maintains structural integrity and consistent magnetic field alignment for stable output and predictable response across sessions.
