Seymour Duncan NYC 4-String Bass Pickups Set

The Seymour Duncan NYC 4 and NYC 5 bass pickups are highly versatile dual-coil J-style pickups designed for maximum tonal flexibility and studio-grade performance. Featuring a double row of exposed Alnico 2 pole pieces, they deliver a warm, organic voice with punchy lows, smooth mids, and a naturally articulate top end. The 4-conductor wiring enables three selectable modes—parallel for a fat, noise-free single-coil tone, series for high-output punch and fullness, and single-coil mode for authentic vintage Jazz Bass character. Optimized for hum-free operation when combining neck and bridge coils, they provide exceptional clarity and balance across all playing styles. Compatible with standard DC 40 routes, these hand-built pickups from Santa Barbara, California, offer premium craftsmanship with flexible, professional-grade tone shaping.
