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. We’ve reduced the magnet-pull, and included 4-conductor wiring to allow both series and parallel humbucking modes.

Output: 155

Bass: 5.0 Mid: 5.5 Treble: 6.0

Recommended For: Neck and bridge positions. The Area J™ Pair was designed to fit the neck and bridge position of 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. Please refer to the dimensions link for the correct choice for your bass.

Quick Connect: No
Wiring: 4 Conductor
Magnet: Alnico 2
Resistance: 7.80 Kohm

Below are the tone, volume and cap values that Dimarzio® recommend with this Pickup:500K Volume Pot, 250K Tone Pot, .033 uF Capacitor
