If you’re looking for a slightly brighter take on the iconic early ‘60s jazz bass tone, look no further. You’ll find the Heavy Weather Jazz Bass Pickup Set delivers all of the distinctive vintage grit and growl you’d expect with the addition of expressive harmonics that will have your notes ringing clear as a bell.
The vintage-hot wound Alnico 5 pickups are voiced to provide a punchy and fluid responsiveness and treated to breathe in a way that delivers enhanced harmonic clarity. Heavy Weather pickups will perform equally well in fretted and fretless basses.
Available with or without the Seymour Duncan Logo

OUTPUT
These pickups have a great bounce and feel to them. Top end is a little softer than a 70’s wind. The low end is backed off just a touch from a 60’s wind, which likely gives it the bouncy feel.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
