DiMarzio Model J™
DP123
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 emphasizes 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. For an even more varied choice of tones, pair a bridge position
DiMarzio Model J™ with a DiMarzio Model P®
pickup. The warm, fat tone of the DiMarzio Model P® plus the tight
punch of the DiMarzio Model J™ open up the sound of any bass.
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. The pickups are also available individually as DP123S
(short) and DP123L (long) if your bass requires either one size pickup
or the other. Please refer to the dimensions link for the correct choice
for your bass.
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, we keep the resistance down, and the tone clean and clear.
