The hum-cancelling Ultra Jazz™ takes a traditional Fender® Jazz Bass® sound and really opens it up. Lows are deeper, highs are more percussive, and the mid-range is round but not muddy. Harmonic overtones jump off the strings. It’s also quick; with instant response to either fingers or pick-style playing. There’s only one word for this combination of qualities: “musical”. Choose the perfectly matched Ultra Jazz™ Pair, or try an Ultra Jazz™ Bridge pickup with a Split P™ in the middle position.

The appearance of the Ultra Jazz™ is traditional, but the wide dynamic range and frequency response of the hybrid magnetic structure allows both vintage and modern sounds. As with the Model J™, hum canceling is achieved with each coil sensing a pair of strings, rather than a stacked design; even with a relatively high DC resistance figure, the Ultra Jazz™ has very strong, percussive highs and clean lows.

The DiMarzio DP149BK Ultra Jazz™ Hum-Cancelling J-Bass Neck and Bridge Pickup comes with a range of features that make it a popular choice among bass players. Some of these features include:

• Dual-coil design: The pickup's dual-coil design cancels out unwanted hum and noise, ensuring clean and clear tone.




• Alnico magnets: The pickup's alnico magnets provide a warm and rich sound, with excellent sustain.




• Four-conductor wiring: The pickup's four-conductor wiring allows for a range of wiring options, including series, parallel, and split-coil configurations.




• Adjustable pole pieces: The pickup's adjustable pole pieces allow for precise string balance and tone control.




• Easy installation: The pickup is easy to install, with detailed instructions and all necessary hardware included.
