Seymour DuncanNYC Bass 5 String Pickup Black Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
NYC Bass is a black, dual-coil J-style 5-string pickup built around double rows of exposed Alnico 2 rod pole pieces. Its four-conductor cable opens three wiring choices: parallel, series, and single-coil. That gives a bass technician or player several distinctly described voices to choose from during setup, from cleaner parallel response to higher-output series wiring or the crisp Jazz Bass character of single-coil mode. It is designed around standard DC 40 routs, making that routing detail the key fit check before an upgrade.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Configuring a 5-string bass with parallel, series, or single-coil wiring options.
- Upgrading a 5-string bass that has a standard DC 40 pickup rout.
- Players who want to select between cleaner, higher-output, and single-coil pickup voices.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Basses without a standard DC 40 rout.
