Seymour Duncan Apollo J-Bass, 5 Str, 74 Bridge Pickup

Seymour Duncan Apollo J-Bass 5-String 74mm Bridge Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Apollo J-Bass bridge pickup delivers articulate, punchy response with clarity across the frequency spectrum. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup pairs traditional Jazz bass character with modern refinement, engineered for players who need defined note separation and controlled low-end without sacrificing warmth—essential for cutting through on stage and laying down solid pocket work.

Tone & Response

The linear humbucking design with two side-by-side coils cuts hum while maintaining the classic Jazz bass midrange presence. Hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets provide responsive dynamics and natural sustain, ideal for fingerstyle work, slap, and articulate playing across all five strings. The result is definition that projects in a live mix without fighting other instruments.

Construction & Materials

Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and ensures long-term stability through tours and regular gigging, while Forbon flatwork provides structural integrity and consistent performance night after night. The black cover maintains aesthetic continuity with most Jazz bass aesthetics while allowing magnetic interaction with the strings.
