A DiMarzio Classic Introduced in 1979
Introduced in 1979, the Model J established itself as a modern alternative to the traditional Jazz Bass sound: it delivers the expected warm and musical tone, with added presence and power, while preserving the instrument's character. The black finish discreetly fits most basses, whether vintage or contemporary.
For Whom and Which Style?
This kit is designed for bassists seeking a more "robust" and quiet Jazz Bass tone, particularly suitable for funk, jazz, groove, pop, or fusion. On a fretless bass, the bridge pickup highlights the famous Jazz/Funk "quack" with very expressive articulation, without sacrificing the warmth of the low register.
More Output, More Nuance, Less Noise
With an output level of 150 mV and a design aimed at minimizing noise, the Model J Kit delivers a solid and usable signal, perfect for driving a preamp, hitting a pedal, or simply gaining definition in the mix. Its sound profile emphasizes present lows and balanced mids, while keeping the highs controlled. For even greater versatility, it can be paired with a Model One depending on the desired configuration.
