Seymour Duncan NYC 5-String Bass Pickups Set

The Seymour Duncan NYC 4 and NYC 5 bass pickups are dual-coil J-style designs built for maximum versatility, clarity, and tonal range. Featuring dual rows of exposed Alnico 2 pole pieces, they deliver a warm, organic response with punchy lows and a smooth, focused upper midrange. The 4-conductor wiring allows multiple switching options, including parallel mode for a fat, noise-free single-coil character, series mode for high-output punch and fullness, and true single-coil mode for classic Jazz Bass tone. Designed to be hum-free when blending neck and bridge coils, they offer exceptional flexibility across studio and live settings. Compatible with standard DC 40 routes, these hand-built pickups from Santa Barbara, California provide modern versatility with vintage-inspired warmth and articulation.
