Seymour Duncan STK-J2B

Asensin tämän saarnirunkoiseen bassoon jossa tavoitteena oli saada perinteinen Presarisoundi Fenderin omilla splitatuilla etumikeillä ja lisäksi tämän tallamikin tuli antaa rokimpaa potkua. Toisin kävi. Kävi nimittäin niin että sen rokin lisäksi tuli selkeyttä soundiin roimasti molempien mikkien ollessa kytkettynä. Molemmille mikeille oli oma volume ja lisäksi vielä erillinen master volume ja tone, tuli tästä bassosta melkoinen yli genrerajojen liikkuva pantteri:) Suositteln. Duff diggaa myös...Vain arvostelujen kirjoittaminen on turhaa ja työlästä alennuksien toivosta koska niitä ei näemmä enää tule...

First of all: I'm not a fan of bridge pickups. I leave them completely off 90% of the time and the remaining 10% I just use a tiny hint of bridge pickup to color the sound from the bridge pickup.

I got this one to combine with a SPB-1 in a PJ configuration. I specifically wanted a hum cancelling bridge pickup for this. Like I said, I don't really care much how the bridge pickup sounds. Pretty much ANY hum cancelling J-bass bridge pickup could have done what I needed. Hum cancelling was the only thing that mattered to me and I figured I would try this one as I had never actually tried a stacked J-pickup before.

For my needs it is perfect. It has enough juice compared to the SPB-1 to do what it needs to do. The soloed sound is ok if you like that kind of thin, nasal bridge pickup sound I guess. But no-one would mistake it for a single coil. It doesn't have that single coil bite. In fact, I'd say most split coil designs sound closer to a true single coil than this stacked coil design.

For my needs I'm perfectly happy with it. I'm not sure if a die hard J-bass fanatic would be though. It's not really that close to a true vintage J-bass pickup.
