Seymour Duncan STK-J1N Classic Stack 4-String Neck Pickup For Jazz Bass
The Seymour Duncan STK-J1N is a vintage-voiced neck pickup engineered for warm, articulate jazz bass tones without excessive output or mud. Built on Alnico V rod magnets, this pickup delivers the classic character expected from a quality jazz bass neck position while maintaining clarity across the low-frequency spectrum. The slightly narrower design fits standard Jazz Bass neck routes and integrates seamlessly into traditional or modern rigs.
Tone & Frequency Response
With a DC resistance of 11.6 kΩ and a resonant peak at 8 kHz, the STK-J1N balances warmth with articulation, emphasizing the upper-midrange for note definition without harshness. The EQ curve of 7 / 5 / 6 (Bass / Mid / Treble) sits in the sweet spot for jazz and fusion playing, where fundamental weight and harmonic presence are equally valued—reliable through long sets and studio sessions alike.
