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 thats 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.
