Seymour Duncan Apollo Jazz Pickup Set (5 String, 67/70mm) Overview
The Seymour Duncan Apollo Jazz pickup set is the culmination of years of research into improving an already almost perfect instrument. Kevin Beller, Seymour Duncan's head of R&D, has found a way of enhancing the versatile grunt, whump and burp of Jazz bass pickups whilst simultaneously eliminating issues that have dogged players for years: most notably unwanted hum and string volume disparity.The Apollo Jazz pickups may look like single coils, but in fact they have 2 coils side by side under a single cover. This renders them totally noiseless without sacrificing the Jazz Bass identity. The Apollo Jazz pickup is available as a 4 string and 5 string set, and you can get the 5 string set in either 67/70mm or 70/74mm sizes. The Apollos use hand ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and Forbon flatwork. They are vacuum-wax potted in Santa Barbara and undergo the most rigorous quality control. If you're looking for the next step in high quality Jazz Bass pickups, look no further than the Seymour Duncan Apollos.
