andytoad Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 You can get humbucking Jazz pickups, not sure what you mean by "double humbucking" though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Andy do you mean a stacked jazz pickup ? http://www.seymourduncan.com/pickup/classic-stack-jazz-bass-bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 OP they are also referred to as noise-cancelling jazz pups or noise cancelling humbucking jazz pups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Or does the OP mean a bass version of something like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytoad Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytoad Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 A good selection of responses btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Y 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The alternative is to go active, eg. with a J-Retro replacement control panel. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32j6CI5S0Oo"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32j6CI5S0Oo[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZilchWoolham Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 It wouldn't work. The Stingray humbucker senses signal from a wider area thus changing the harmonic content compared to a narrower pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Do you mean SimS as fitted in Enfield basses? It's a J/P/H all in one. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjvj5HQne3TAhWmJMAKHW_BAw8QtwIIODAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DLmsaCa2roxY&usg=AFQjCNFkaSoqgJL-f9SnPKH0F2AHzxhI7w&sig2=_avsYlxKDUs0FbWfVSctoQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
