One of Seymour Duncanâs most popular bass models, the Quarter Pound for Jazz BassÂź was designed to take your bass tone to new heights. This neck and bridge pickup set has it all: hot output, great attack and massive attitude. The 1/4â diameter pole pieces and hot coil windings deliver a full, even response with great sustain and complexity that are at home in any genre of music. The neck pickup is RW/RP (reverse wind reverse polarity) for hum cancellation when both pickups are used together. These pickups are a drop-in replacement for any American Standard Jazz BassÂź.
Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA the Quarter Pound for Jazz BassÂź uses Alnico 5 rod magnets and Forbon flatwork, and is wax potted for squeal-free operation. Comes with black cover.

OUTPUT
The Duncan Quarter Pounder pickups are aggressive. The mids have plenty of heft that can help a bass feel more âforwardâ in the mid of a band. While the low and top end are present, the mid range tend to power the overall vibe tonally.
