Have you been waiting for a bass pickup that sounds like a vintage J Bass® pickup and cancels hum? Your wait is over.
Bass pickups are usually described with aggressive terms such as “amazing punch” and “thundering lows”, but that’s not the sound of vintage J Bass® pickups. They’re all about warmth, sustain, and a clean, singing tone. The Area J™ captures all of those qualities.
It is not loud, but it has a very focused attack, so it has power where it counts – at the center of the tone. The lows are very clear and clean, and the highs are both smooth and open-sounding.
DiMarzio has reduced the magnet-pull, and included 4-conductor wiring to allow both series and parallel humbucking modes.
**Sorry international bassists, but US Dealers are not authorized to ship DiMarzio pickups outside of the US.

The Area J has a tight low end, while still having a bit of dip in the mids. Top end is rolled off, and the pickups have a slightly softer feel than the other DiMarzio JB pickups.
