Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently purchased a set of DP123 pickups for my made-in-Mexico (MIM) Fender Jazz Bass. When I began to install them, I noticed that the bridge pickup wasn't going to fit into the body of the bass.
This problem is NOT DiMarzios fault.
Fender decided to use a the same size pickup in both postions on the MIM basses, while their American Basses use a slightly larger pickup on the bridge.
To their credit, when I called DiMarzio about how to proceed, they just said "Send us the pickup and we'll give you one the right size. They rapidly shipped me the new pickup and I was up and running in no time at all.
If you're somewhat technical, replacing pickups is pretty easy.
Simply loosen the strings, remove the pick-guard and the electronics cover. You need to have a soldering iron strong enough to be able to desolder/resolder the ground wire on the back of the volume pots. Just follow the wiring instructions that come with the pickups and you're all set.
The new pickups are very warm and punchy. They're humbucking pickups, so they're very clean sounding and growl nicely once you get above 8 or so on the volume pot. Compared with the stock pickups the Model J's really shine. My MIM bass now sounds great!
Highly recommended

Product Description:
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. Double-stop glissandos and delicate violin-style vibrato speak with a classic, woody voice simply by backing off slightly on the tone control. For an even more varied choice of tones, pair a bridge position DiMarzio Model J? with a DiMarzio Model P® pickup. The warm, fat tone of the DiMarzio Model P® plus the tight punch of the DiMarzio Model J? open up the sound of any bass.
