Seymour Duncan NYC Bass set 4 Strg Pickup

Seymour Duncan NYC Bass 4-String Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan NYC Bass pickup set delivers a focused, articulate response that cuts through any live mix with clarity and presence. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, these dual-coil J-type pickups offer a refined take on classic J-bass character, engineered for bassists who demand precision and tonal definition across all four strings—whether you're on a dark venue stage or a bright outdoor rig.

Tone & Stage Reliability

The Alnico II magnet configuration paired with dual-coil J-type design produces controlled lows and punchy mids without excessive bloom, sitting tight in the band mix. With a neck resonant peak at 3.2 kHz and bridge peak at 2.4 kHz, these pickups maintain separation between registers while the EQ curve of 9/8/5 (Bass/Mid/Treble) emphasizes fundamental tone and articulation for reliable, repeatable performance night after night.

Specifications & Compatibility

DC resistance measures 18.72 kΩ on the neck and 21.43 kΩ on the bridge, providing balanced output across the pair. Both neck and bridge pickups measure 3.5" × 1.5" (88.9mm × 38.1mm) with precise spacing of 2.211" (neck) and 2.319" (bridge) to fit standard DC 40 bass routing without modification.
