Seymour Duncan – High-quality craftsmanship from the USA

Seymour Duncan is one of the world’s leading brands in pickups for electric guitars and electric basses. The products are crafted with great care in California and stand for quality, reliability, and excellent tonal characteristics. The SJB-3S Quarter-Pound Set is no exception—here, precision craftsmanship meets musical expressiveness.

With its powerful output and hum-free performance, this set is particularly well-suited for musicians who like to play with power and want their bass to cut through the mix. The combination of Precision warmth and Jazz bite makes it the perfect choice for versatile bassists who don’t want to compromise between style and sound.

Technical Details of the Seymour Duncan SJB-3S Pickup Set

The set consists of two pickups:

• SPB-3 split-coil pickup (neck position) – delivers a powerful foundation with a rich low end and punchy mids
• SJB-3B single-coil pickup (bridge position) – brings crisp highs and aggressive punch to the mix

Both pickups feature oversized quarter-pound pole pieces, which ensure high magnetic force and consistent response across all strings. The Alnico V magnets produce a warm yet assertive tone with excellent dynamics. The pickups are wax-sealed to prevent feedback and microphony—even at high volumes.

With a DC resistance of 11.5 kOhm (neck) and 13.7 kOhm (bridge), this set clearly falls into the high-output category. It’s ideal for aggressive playing styles, but also offers enough sensitivity for expressive fingerpicking or precise slapping. Connection is via PVC-sheathed cables, which can be easily integrated into any passive bass circuit system.

Why the SJB-3S Quarter-Pound Set Is Ideal for Your PJ Bass Upgrade

Want the best of both worlds? The Seymour Duncan SJB-3S Pickup Set combines the massive richness of a P-Bass pickup with the focused bite of a Jazz Bass bridge pickup—perfect for bassists who refuse to compromise. The sound is assertive, dynamic, and full—ideal for any genre where the bass is meant to be more than just a backing instrument.

Thanks to its high-quality craftsmanship, versatile tone, and clear performance, this set is an excellent choice for ambitious musicians and professionals. Whether as a targeted upgrade or a replacement—with the SJB-3S Set, you’ll take your bass to a whole new level.
