Frequently Asked Questions
What's included with the AJB-1B Pro, and what do I need to install it?
The pickup ships with mounting and wiring hardware, logo covers, and everything needed for a direct bridge replacement in a Jazz Bass or P-J configuration. You'll need basic soldering skills or a tech to wire it in, and the active circuit requires a 9V battery that lasts approximately 1,000 continuous hours per set.
How does the AJB-1B Pro differ from other active Jazz Bass pickups?
Seymour Duncan engineered this design by taking the most popular switch setting from their classic Active EQ Switch pickups and hardwiring it permanently into the circuit, eliminating brittleness while retaining a modern, broad tonal response with punchy mids and warm lows. This makes it immediately usable without tone-stacking or tweaking.
What genres and styles is this pickup best suited for?
The AJB-1B Pro excels in jazz, blues, pop, rock, and classic rock. It's not designed for metal or djent styles, where darker or more aggressive active pickups may be a better fit.
Can I use the AJB-1B Pro with a tone circuit for more control?
Yes, Seymour Duncan recommends pairing it with the STC-2 or STC-3 Tone Circuits for extended tonal shaping and control beyond the pickup's standard voice.
Is this a bridge pickup only, or are other configurations available?
The AJB-1B Pro is available as an individual bridge pickup replacement, as a neck and bridge Jazz Bass set, or in a P-J configuration to suit your bass and upgrade needs.
