Description
Stock pickups on most P-basses are fine until you actually need to be heard. The DiMarzio DP122BK Model P is built to fix that. It’s a hum-cancelling two-piece pickup designed specifically for Fender Precision Bass-style instruments, and it hits harder than what came in the box without turning your low end to mud.
What you get is more gain, tighter definition, and a mid-range that snarls when you dig in. That growl matters live — it’s what lets your bass cut through a loud guitar rig and a drummer who hits too hard, without you having to sacrifice the bottom-end weight that makes a P-bass a P-bass in the first place.
Want more tonal range? Pair this with a DiMarzio Model J or Ultra Jazz in the bridge position. That combo opens up everything from punchy mid-focused tones to a warmer, clearer low end with extra top-end sparkle — basically covering whatever the gig calls for.
This listing includes a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings (EB2834), so you’re ready to restring the moment the new pickup goes in.
