Seymour Duncan used that classic jazz tone foundation and added some punch. These pickups are voiced a little lower than a traditional jazz, with a hotter output and fuller low end than the original, giving you boom without too much top end sizzle. The hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, and custom coil wind deliver a hotter, fatter Jazz Bass® tone with a warm lower midrange growl. The more aggressive attack from this pickup makes it great for all things rock. These pickups are a drop-in replacement for any American Standard Jazz Bass®.
Pair together for a perfectly balanced, hum-canceling set. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA the Hot for Jazz Bass® uses hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, forbon flatwork, and is wax potted for squeal free operation. Comes with black cover.

The SJB-2 Hot pickups are muscular, with a big low end. Punch is not sacrificed with these and neither is warmth. A very pleasing pickup that players who enjoy a beefy tone, will definitely dig.
