Jaco Pups for Your J-Bass

Jaco Pastorius revolutionized the electric bass. When he joined Weather Report, the sound of his roundwound-strung fretless Jazz Bass helped drive the band to rock-star levels of jazz and crossover success. And the pickups in Jaco's infamous Bass of Doom? Custom-designed by Seymour Duncan himself. Several years ago, Seymour found his design notes on the Jaco pickups and went to work, perfecting and refining. The Custom Shop Weather Report Jazz Bass Pickup Set is a vintage Alnico 5 hot-wind design with pronounced harmonic overtones and extreme responsiveness to your playing technique. Whether you're plucking, raking, or executing pinch harmonics, you'll find the Weather Report Jazz Bass Pickup Set nails Jaco's signature punchy, fat growl to a tee. Trust Sweetwater: with these pups, your bass will own the track.

Reviews

OMG!!
Ladies and gentlemen, if you own a jazz bass of any ilk, you must upgrade to these awesome pups. The improvement in tonal quality is absolutely incredible. No wonder Pastorius (rest in peace) looked to Seymour Duncan. I believe I now have the ultimate bass, bar none.

Killer sounding!
Just installed these in a fretless Jazz Bass I built from parts. These things are awesome sounding! They really nail that Jaco tone. They are both aggressive and balanced at the same time. Exactly what I hoped for in this Jaco clone bass. They will feedback if you push the treble too much, but it's a good trade off for me to get that sound and output level. I just dial back the treble until it stops and voila!
