DiMarzio DP123BK Model J Pickup Set, Black

Main Features

• Replacement pickup set for Jazz basses
• Increased power and hum cancellation
• Colour: Black

DiMarzio Model J™ pickups reproduce the warmth and roundness of the traditional Fender Jazz Bass sound with increased power and hum-cancellation.

The additional power translates into a bigger sound that emphasises the resonant character of the instrument. The DiMarzio Model J™ pickup's sensitivity and deep tone are also the perfect complement to fretless basses. Double-stop glissandos and delicate violin-style vibrato speak with a classic, woody voice simply by backing off slightly on the tone control.

Recommended For
Neck and bridge positions. The DiMarzio Model J™ was designed to fit the original Fender Jazz Bass, which has neck and bridge pickup cavities of two different sizes. Some current basses use the same length pickup in both positions. The DiMarzio Model J™ set, DP123, consists of two pickups of different lengths, with the neck pickup shorter than the bridge pickup.

Tech Talk
Unlike traditional Js, each Model J™ is individually humbucking. It's not a stack: each coil picks up one pair of strings. By doing it this way, DiMarzio keep the resistance down, and the tone clean and clear.
