An "NYC Bass" reference in Phase I version

The NYCB-4b fits within Seymour Duncan's "NYC Bass" spirit, with a focus on musicality and versatility. This Passive Phase I variant prioritizes an organic and expressive response, appreciated by bassists who want an effective pickup without altering the personality of their bass.

For which bassists and styles?

Designed for a 4-string bass and use in the bridge position, this pickup suits both fingerstyle and pick playing, seeking a more present attack and better note clarity. It targets musicians who want to enhance their sound definition, especially on groove lines, articulated parts, and denser registers.

The character of a passive pickup, the practicality of a soapbar

With its passive design, the NYCB-4b emphasizes simplicity and reliability: a direct response, good control via the bass's tone controls, and natural compatibility with many passive wiring setups. Its soapbar format facilitates integration on instruments designed for this type of pickup, while maintaining a modern and discreet aesthetic thanks to its black finish.
