The Apollo Jazz Bass 4-string noiseless pickups are linear humbucking pickups that add punch and articulation missing from standard Jazz Bass pickups while minimizing noise.
The Apollo Jazz Bass pickups have a traditional look, but the punchy and articulate tone they deliver is definitely unique to Seymour Duncan. These pickups utilize a linear humbucking design with two coils that sit next to each other under the cover. The way the coils are wired delivers hum-free performance while creating a sonic fatness and oomph that can often be missing from traditional single coil Jazz bass pickups and are just what you need to take your tone to the next level.
Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, Apollo Jazz Bass pickups use hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, Forbon flatwork, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal free performance.

The Duncan Apollo J have a feel similar to the Heavy Weather but with a bit more mid range, likely because of the Apollo J being hum-cancelling. There is a similar bounce as well. Top end is softer, and the lows are tighter, a touch less warmth.
