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 Jwith a DiMarzio
Model P pickup. The warm, fat tone of the DiMarzio Model Pplus the
tight punch of the DiMarzio Model J open up the sound of any bass.
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.
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.
