Seymour Duncan Antiquity II for Jazz Bass Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Antiquity II for Jazz Bass Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan Antiquity II delivers warm, articulate vintage tone with the clarity and definition that modern jazz bassists demand. Hand-crafted in the USA Custom Shop, this pickup set captures the character of late 1960s jazz bass electronics while maintaining the consistency and reliability expected from contemporary instruments. These are purpose-built for players seeking authentic vintage response without compromise.

Tone & Magnetic Properties

Both bridge and neck pickups feature hand-ground calibrated Alnico 5 rod magnets rated at 1050 Gauss, delivering balanced output across the frequency spectrum with pronounced midrange clarity. The matched 8.80K ohms (bridge) and 8.24K ohms (neck) DC resistance ensures smooth blending between positions and responsive dynamic articulation suited to traditional jazz and contemporary styles alike.

Construction & Winding

Each pickup is lacquered and wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback and ensure long-term stability during live performance. Cloth pushback hookup wire and late 60s era gray flatwork complete the vintage specification, while hand-wound construction in the USA guarantees attention to detail at every stage of assembly. On the bandstand or in the studio, these pickups deliver consistent response night after night.
