Seymour Duncan AJB-2ASB Steve Bailey Fundamental Fretless System 2-Band Tone Circuit
The AJB-2ASB is a complete active electronics system engineered specifically for fretless bass, delivering the articulate, controlled response that fretless playing demands. Designed in collaboration with legendary fretless pioneer Steve Bailey, this pre-wired harness integrates seamlessly into Jazz Bass-sized instruments and provides the tonal flexibility and headroom needed for expressive fretless work.
Electronics & Tone Shaping
