SGD Neodymium Powered
Series 3 Bass Pickups

Solid, full tone with classic growl and top end bite with no hum.
Clean and powerful passive, also works great with any preamp.

Introducing the World's First Neodymium Jazz Humbuckers!

ND3-J4 (Jazz size), 4 or narrow 5 string pickup. Dimensions are 3.6" (91.7mm) and 3.7" (94.7mm).

We squeezed our neo humbuckers into a Jazz case! Both sizes feature dual steel blades for any string spacing up to 3" (76.2mm) for 5 strings with up to 19mm spacing. All pickups are fully shielded for noiseless operation, and cast in epoxy resin for durability and to prevent feedback. The new case design features a black-on-black laser etched logo.

Pickups feature 4 conductor (+ shield) wiring. Instructions are included for series/parallel, and series/single/parallel. Two pickups in single coil mode hum cancel.

Please note: It come to my attention that the new J covers I am using has the neck pickup's mounting tabs spaced the same as the bridge pickup's tabs. So the centers between the screws is 40mm and not 38mm. This is a small difference, but may require a slight modification to your pickguard or pickup rout depending on how tight they are. I am looking for new covers that have standard specs.

Price is $110 per single pickup, or $200 for a set. Pickups are voiced for neck and bridge locations, and both versions come in the long (L-bridge) and short (S-neck) cases.
