A Seymour Duncan classic designed for the 5-string Jazz Bass
The SJ5-N-7074 belongs to the "Jazz Bass 5" family with a vintage output level: the goal is to capture the feel and character of a traditional Jazz Bass while maintaining a solid and usable response on the fifth string. In the neck position, it emphasizes roundness, singing mids, and low-end depth without sacrificing clarity.
For which bassists and styles?
This neck pickup is aimed at musicians seeking an authentic Jazz Bass sound for both live performance and studio work: walking bass, funk groove, pop, blues, classic rock, or soul. It excels when you want a "clean" and expressive foundation that responds subtly to right-hand nuances, more pronounced attacks, and tone control variations.
70/74 format: alignment, clarity, and hassle-free installation
With its single coil design and 2-conductor wiring, the SJ5-N-7074 goes straight to the essentials: efficient installation, an open tone, and an attack that maintains presence in the mix. The 70/74 format is designed to fit the dimensions of certain 5-string Jazz Basses (with a 70 mm neck) to preserve proper string alignment and consistent response across all strings. The black finish easily integrates with most setups and pickup covers.
