Description
If your P-Bass has gone a little polite on you, the DiMarzio Model P is the fix. This is a direct swap for the stock split-coil pickup in a Fender Precision-style bass, but the output and attitude are a different animal. The two-piece hum-cancelling design keeps things dead quiet on stage, while the ceramic magnet pushes a hotter, more aggressive signal than you’ll get from a passive stock unit.
Where this pickup earns its keep is the midrange. Dig in and you get real growl instead of mush — the kind of push that lets a bass line punch through a wall of guitars and drums without needing to fight for space. It’s not a scooped, boutique-vintage voice; it’s built for cutting through dense mixes and loud rooms, and it does that without giving up the low-end weight a P-Bass is known for.
Want more tonal range? Pair it with a bridge-position DiMarzio Model J or Ultra Jazz. That combo opens the door to everything from tight midrange punch to a warmer bottom-end with a bright, articulate top — basically letting you dial in whatever the gig calls for that night.
