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.
Unlike traditional Jazz Bass® pickups, each Model J™ is individually humbucking. It's not a stack: each coil picks up one pair of strings. By doing it this way, DiMarzio keeps the resistance down, and the tone clean and clear.
The DiMarzio Model J™ was designed to fit the original Fender Jazz Bass, which has neck and bridge pickup cavities of two different sizes.
**Sorry international bassists, but US Dealers are not authorized to ship DiMarzio pickups outside of the US.

The Model J pickup has big focus in the low mids, giving it a nice punch and forward sound. The upper mids are scooped and the top end is rolled off. The slap tone is quite nice as it punches in the perfect spot. Solo’d, the neck pickup is big and wooly…excellent for rock. The bridge pickup is tighter, and can work well to tighten up the tone of the neck when used together.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
