Inject Your Bass with Punch and Attitude

Harness the authoritative thump of a P Bass. Wield the hard-hitting growl of a J Bass. Inject your bass with truckloads of blistering high-output punch, and infuse every note with incredible low-end bite and sustain. It's the sound you've heard from bands like Blink 182, Alien Ant Farm, Rise Against, Bad Religion, and The Smashing Pumpkins. And it's yours with the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound PJ Set. These versatile pickups sound great in any setting, and if you add a two- or three-band EQ you can tackle anything. Whether you play rock, punk, or metal, drop the Quarter Pound PJ Set into your bass, and you'll never get lost in the mix again.

Fat, full, and punchy — the definitive P Bass tone

The Quarter Pound P Bass SPB-3's high output and versatility make it an easy fit for blues, classic rock, punk, heavy rock, classic metal, and nü-metal. The quarter-inch diameter pole pieces expand the magnetic field and extend the frequency range for fat, full, punchy sound with tremendous mid-range presence and maximum output. Though often used for heavy rock tones, this pickup possesses amazing tonal versatility. Includes logo covers.

Attack and attitude — the sound of the Jazz Bass

The Quarter Pound J Bass SJB-3 was developed for the bassist who needs slammin' output and a powerful attack. The quarter-inch pole pieces and intense windings deliver a full response with great sustain. The SJB-3's quarter-inch pole-pieces are nestled in intensely wound bobbins and add to the great tone of these pickups, boosting the sustain and giving a full response across the frequency spectrum. Recommended for blues, classic rock, garage, heavy rock, classic metal, and nü-metal, this pickup can do it all! Includes a logo cover.

Why choose Seymour Duncan?

Quite simply, it boils down to tone. Seymour Duncan has spent the majority of his life refining the art of creating pickups. Seymour Duncan is dedicated to getting the best tone possible from his pickups, from modern metal monsters to faithful reproductions of gems from the '50s and '60s. At Sweetwater, we know that tone is important to you, which is why we choose to carry Seymour Duncan pickups. With the massive amount of pickups available from Seymour Duncan, you're certain to find the sound you've been looking for.

Rated 5/5

Really Great

I put these in my PJ Mustang Bass paired them with a Mojotone PIO .047 cap, what a difference, fat, round full tone love them
Rated 5/5

Pure Awesome!

Definite upgrade for my Deluxe Fender P-Bass. Amazing lows, great sustain, with a punch that would make Mike Tyson look twice. Even my wife, who doesn't play an instrument, poked her head into the room after I got it done and told me how great it sounded. Very happy with my purchase! Thanks again to Mark for all his help.
Rated 5/5

Ibanez Mikro Replacement

Swapped out the pickups in an Ibanez Mikro..l. it radically changed the sound. These are worth every penny. Now I can record with this bass... before, the sound was too harsh and inconsistent.
Rated 5/5

Rock and roll tone.

Love the quarter pounders. Used them for years. The tone range of this set is the best I have found.
Rated 5/5

Amazing pickups! Highly recommended!

I bought these pickups to upgrade my studio bass that I use for recording. The bass I put them in is a Squire Infinity P/J bass. The stock pickups were lifeless, but I bought the bass as a mod platform. So these pickups are amazing! Clear, beefy, and loads of growl! You pair these pickups with the seymour Duncan Blackouts for bass active preamp and you take it to the Next level! These pickups will bring your bass to life.
