SM-1N & SM-3B for Violin Bass

David6599 27.10.2015

I used the Seymour Duncan SM-1N and SM-3B as replacement pickups on a Violin Bass (Beatle Bass), inspired by a Seymour Duncan Blog article 'SD Mini-Humbuckers and the Hofner Beatle Bass' by Jon Moody. Under the cover, these pickups have a 'blade' rather than pole-pieces, which means they function properly with four strings.

I'm very happy with the outcome, though fitting them was not straightforward. I had to use new mounting rings, which proved awkward to install on the Harley Benton instrument. And I wanted to be able to select series or parallel in 'both pickups' mode, and finding a hum-free wiring scheme took some research and experimentation.

Nevertheless the bass now sounds marvellous, with a rich and accurate bottom end, and a smooth but detailed top end. It may seem counter-intuitive, but these are lovely bass pickups (though be sure to check your string-spacing).

They were a fiddle to fit, but totally worth it!

Versatile jack-of-all-trades

Ciarán 26.12.2025

The humbucker that dreams of being a single coil, this thing has lived on my neck-pickup-only telecaster for years. It sonically is not much different to a stock telecaster neck pickup, just “more” - brighter, more articulate and precise. Versatile as hell.
If I could level one criticism it would be that it lacks a distinct personality of its own. It’s technically the perfect middle-of-the-road pickup with no particular drawbacks; it’s a bit “inoffensive”.

If you want an all-rounder you know you’re gonna like (if not love) it’s a great choice.

ein Träumchen

Ralfi W. 08.09.2020

Ich hatte wiederholt über die PUs von Seymour Duncan gelesen und habe mich entschlossen, meine Hoefner damit zu pimpen. Ich wurde absolut nicht enttäuscht. Sauberer, satter, klarer und differenzierter Klang. Einfach Klasse!! Ein Stern Abzug, weil keine Einstellschrauben und keine Federn dabei waren.

Le chaînon manquant entre single coil et humbucker

Olivier246 20.06.2011

Utilisation :
Monté en position manche sur une Telecaster avec corps en frêne et manche en érable.
Son :
On est vraiment à mi-chemin entre la puissance du humbucker et le single coil. Le volume de sortie n'est pas trop puissant et, vu que j'utilise des potentiomètres 250 kohm et des cordes avec un tirant 10-54, le son s'oriente vers des rythmiques lourdes et chaudes (avec un screamer sur le canal clair de mon ampli). Dans cette configuration, on a une balance qui penche vers des mediums assez présents et des basses rondes. En canal bright sans screamer, on est dans un registre jazzy voire bossa.
Le micro n'a vraiment aucun parasite et, ça, c'est du plaisir. Par contre, je ne trouve pas qu'il ait le côté tranchant de certains humbuckers.
Qualité de fabrication :
Excellente. Câble blindé avec gaine tressée.
