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.
Please contact us if you are having trouble finding DiMarzio products in your home country.
Size (Bridge):
3.74" [94.87mm] Long
.74" [18.8mm] Wide

Size (Neck):
3.6" [91.44mm] Long
.74" [18.8mm] Wide

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.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on many factors.
