Description

Seymour Duncan Antiquity Single Coil Precision Bass Pickup

The Antiquity Single Coil P-Bass delivers the warm, articulate response that defined classic Precision bass tones—handcrafted in Santa Barbara using time-honored winding techniques. Built for bass players who rely on their instrument night after night, this pickup combines authentic 1950s–60s character with modern reliability. The result is genuine vintage warmth that cuts through a live mix with natural presence and stays consistent from stage to stage.

Tone & Magnetic Design

Built with four Alnico 2 rod magnets and plain enamel magnet wire, this pickup produces a focused, woody fundamental with natural compression in the low end. The 650G unloaded output and 11.31K ohms DC resistance yield a smooth, slightly compressed tone that works equally well in the studio, on a vintage-voiced rig, or anchoring a classic rock set—wherever articulation and depth both matter.

Winding & Wiring

Hand-wound construction using classic cloth "push back" hookup wire—protected with wax-coated string—ensures durability and authentic signal path integrity. This meticulous approach to assembly contributes to the pickup's organic response and long-term reliability in professional settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this pickup sound different from a standard modern Precision Bass pickup?

The Antiquity uses four Alnico 2 rod magnets and hand-wound construction with classic cloth hookup wire, which produces a warm, woody fundamental with natural compression in the low end. This design mimics the tone of 1950s–60s Precision basses, delivering articulate vintage character rather than the tighter, more scooped response of contemporary pickups.

Is this pickup suitable for studio recording?

Yes. The 650G unloaded output and 11.31K ohm DC resistance yield a smooth, slightly compressed tone that sits well in a mix with minimal EQ work, making it ideal for studio sessions, classic rock, blues, and vintage-voiced recording applications.

What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?

It excels in classic rock, blues, and studio sessions where vintage tone and articulation are priorities. It is not recommended for metal, djent, or extended-range playing, where tighter, more aggressive pickup characteristics are needed.

What is included and how do I install it?

The pickup comes ready to install in a standard single-coil Precision Bass cavity with hand-wound wax-coated cloth hookup wire for durability and signal integrity. Installation requires basic soldering and familiarity with pickup wiring; if you are unsure, a qualified tech can handle the swap.

How does this compare to other vintage Precision Bass pickups?

The Antiquity hand-wound construction and Alnico 2 design place it in direct competition with the Fender Original Precision Bass Pickup, Lindy Fralin P-Bass Pickup, and DiMarzio Model P. It combines authentic vintage voice with modern reliability and is handcrafted in Santa Barbara using time-honored winding techniques.
