Punch, clarity, and stage-ready tone!
Seymour Duncan has announced the launch of the Duff McKagan Signature PJ Pickup Set, designed to deliver a versatile and reliable bass tone suited for a wide range of high-energy playing environments. Developed in collaboration with McKagan, the set focuses on clarity, punch, and consistency—whether on stage or in the studio.
The new signature set pairs a Quarter Pound P-style pickup in the neck position with a Hot Stack J-style pickup in the bridge. The Quarter Pound model features large Alnico 5 magnets for increased presence and strong midrange projection, while the Hot Stack Jazz pickup provides articulate response with full hum-canceling performance. Together, the two pickups create a balanced tonal foundation that remains defined even in dense mixes.
Each pickup is hand-built at Seymour Duncan’s facility in Santa Barbara, California and includes McKagan’s distinctive skull-and-crossbones logo. The set is designed to fit standard PJ-style routing, allowing for straightforward installation and compatibility with both passive and active bass configurations.
The Duff McKagan Signature PJ Pickup Set is positioned for players working in rock, punk, metal, and other high-intensity styles, but offers enough flexibility to adapt to varied musical settings and tonal shaping approaches.
The pickup set is now available through authorized Seymour Duncan dealers and directly at SeymourDuncan.com.
