A Key Piece of the Antiquity Series: The "Vintage Instrument" Spirit
The Seymour Duncan Antiquity range is dedicated to classic tones, with special attention to period-accurate manufacturing methods and aesthetic rendering. The AN4413 Antiquity Precision Single Coil targets bassists seeking the color and feel of the very first single coil Precision pickups: a lively, nuanced sound with that immediately inspiring vintage vibe, as if the pickup had already endured decades of performances.
Who and What For? The Ideal Choice for "Old School" Sounds
This pickup is perfect if you are looking for a 1950s vintage sound : round but clear lows, a present midrange that carries the mix, and a precise attack that highlights right-hand placement. It is especially suited for bassists playing roots, vintage rock, country, rhythm and blues, or soul, and for those wanting to restore character to a Precision single coil bass (or a restoration/upgrade project with historical specifications).
Design and Specifics: Warmth, Sustain, and Authenticity
The pickup is built true to the original models to preserve the typical dynamic response and feel of a single coil. Seymour Duncan uses Alnico 2 rod magnets and a winding with plain enamel wire to achieve a warm, full-bodied sound without harshness. The calibration and aging process aim for a more "softened" sensation and immediate musicality, with natural sustain. The "push-back" cloth wiring facilitates installation and integrates perfectly into traditional passive electronics.
