Seymour Duncan Apollo J-Bass, 5 Str, 67 Neck Pickup

Seymour Duncan Apollo J-Bass 5-String 67mm Neck Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Apollo neck pickup delivers the focused, articulate response that five-string bass players demand on stage. This linear humbucking design sits comfortably under a traditional cover, eliminating the hum that plagues single-coil configurations while maintaining the clarity essential for cutting through a live mix and holding tight pocket work.

Tone & Electronics

The 9.58 kΩ DC resistance and Alnico 5 magnets produce a warm yet defined midrange with controlled low-end extension—ideal for the neck position where note definition matters when you're locking in with a drummer. Vacuum wax potting ensures squeal-free operation under aggressive playing and the extended sustain that rounds out your tone on a stage.

Craftsmanship & Specifications

Hand-built in Santa Barbara using hand ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and Forbon flatwork, this pickup reflects Seymour Duncan's precision manufacturing standards. The 67mm string spacing matches modern five-string bass bridge configurations for proper pole piece alignment and even output across all strings—reliability you can count on night after night.
