Are you on a quest for the definitive bass tone? Then drop a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 into your axe and prepare for something iconic. This vintage-style split-coil pickup drenches your bass lines in the perfect balance of authoritative thump and clear articulation. Hand-ground Alnico V magnets and vintage coil winding deliver bold, smooth tones by the truckload. And the responsiveness is astounding — it's everything you'd expect from a late-1950s Precision Bass. It looks the part too. If you want to capture the legendary tone that's in your head, you need the Vintage P-Bass SPB-1 pickup.
Fat, meaty, and hard-hitting bass lines — that's the sound of the iconic Fender Precision Bass. And the Vintage P-Bass SPB-1 nails it. Seymour Duncan started with period-correct Forbon flatwork and hand-ground Alnico V rod magnets. Waxed and tinned cloth pushback hookup wires complete the picture. It's clear that Seymour Duncan strove for authenticity when they designed the SPB-1. They used the same building techniques that Fender used during the late 1950s. They hand filed the flatwork, then assembled and lacquered the bobbin. You'll be impressed by the classic looks and serious sonic impact of this pickup.

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.
