Neptune S2 J79 — Focused Definition for the Working Bassist

​

The Neptune S2 J79 is designed as a streamlined, purpose-driven Jazz Bass pickup—built for players who value clarity, timing, and control above all else.

​

Drawing from the core voice of the J85 FC, the S2 J79 refines the essentials into a more direct, immediately usable form. Its tuning favors balance and consistency, making it an ideal choice for modern recording and live performance where reliability and translation matter more than excess complexity.

​

The Voice: Clear, Grounded, Musical

​

Anchored Midrange
The mids are focused and centered, giving each note a stable core rather than pushing it forward in the mix. This voicing supports groove, articulation, and time—allowing bass lines to stay defined and locked with the drums, even in dense arrangements. It doesn’t shout, but it never disappears.

​

Controlled Low End
The low frequencies are tight and disciplined, delivering weight without bloom. This keeps the bottom end clean and responsive, especially in fast passages or modern rhythm-focused playing.

​

Natural Highs
The top end is smooth and functional, offering enough detail for finger noise and articulation without emphasizing unnecessary brightness. Notes remain musical, never brittle.

FSSW: Precision Without Sterility

​

At the heart of the S2 J79 is our FSSW winding architecture, shaping the frequency response with intent rather than excess. The result is a pickup that feels consistent and predictable, yet still carries a subtle harmonic complexity that keeps the instrument feeling alive in the hands.

 

You feel it in the attack, in the way notes speak evenly across the strings, and in how naturally the bass sits in a mix—often requiring less EQ to sound “right.”

​

Built for Real-World Use

​

The Neptune S2 J79 is for bassists who care about feel, placement, and musical responsibility.

It’s a tool that supports the song, respects the groove, and rewards a controlled right hand.
