5-string bass pickups go vintage with the Area J™ 5.
Like the original Area J™, the Area J™ 5 was designed for warmth, sustain, and a clean, singing tone. The low-pull magnetic field allows the strings to ring clearly and enhances the sound of the low “B” string. And like all DiMarzio® bass pickups, the Area J™ 5 cancels hum.
With medium output and a very balanced tone, the Area J™ 5 works equally well with passive and active electronics.
The dimensions of the Area J™ 5 are not the same as 5-string Fender Jazz Bass®. The Area J™ 5 therefore cannot be installed as direct replacements on these basses without modification.
**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.

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.
This demo was made using the 4 string version of the Area J. DiMarzio is winding the 5 string pickup to sound extremely similar to the 4 string version
