Seymour Duncan STK-J1N Classic Stack 4-String Neck Pickup For Jazz Bass
The Seymour Duncan STK-J1N is a vintage-voiced neck pickup engineered to capture warm, articulate jazz bass tones without excessive output or mud in your recordings. Built on Alnico V rod magnets, this pickup delivers the classic character essential for professional jazz bass tracking while maintaining clarity across the low-frequency spectrum. The slightly narrower design fits standard Jazz Bass neck routes and integrates seamlessly into both traditional and modern studio setups.
Tone & Frequency Response
With a DC resistance of 11.6 kΩ and a resonant peak at 8 kHz, the STK-J1N balances warmth with articulation, emphasizing the upper-midrange for note definition without harshness in the mix. The EQ curve of 7 / 5 / 6 (Bass / Mid / Treble) sits in the sweet spot for jazz and fusion sessions, where fundamental weight and harmonic presence combine to deliver recordings that translate across playback systems.
