Am I being a numpty?

[andytoad]

Is there such a pickup that comes in a jazz pickup style but is a double humbucker? Or at the very least mimicks the sound?

[RhysP]

You can get humbucking Jazz pickups, not sure what you mean by "double humbucking" though.

[kodiakblair]

Andy do you mean a stacked jazz pickup ?

OP they are also referred to as noise-cancelling jazz pups or noise cancelling humbucking jazz pups

[bartelby]

Or does the OP mean a bass version of something like this:

[andytoad]

I'm not sure TBH. I'm thinking a pickup with a kind of stingray sound that comes in a traditional single jazz pickup design. It could be active or passive..

[andytoad]

A good selection of responses btw!

There's the pickup Warwick put on some basses (Dirty Blonde I think) which is like two single coil p/ups stuck together, is that the one? Not sure what they sound like though.

ou won't get a Stingray sound from a narrow pickup such as a Jazz. Part of the sound is because of how wide it is (and the position)

The alternative is to go active, eg. with a J-Retro replacement control panel.

This.

You can indeed get a noise-cancelling J pickup, either two coils stacked or two coils next to each other, but like mcnach said it's not going to sound like a Stingray pup.

[Machines]

It wouldn't work. The Stingray humbucker senses signal from a wider area thus changing the harmonic content compared to a narrower pick up.

Do you mean SimS as fitted in Enfield basses? It's a J/P/H all in one.
