This DP122BK is a solid upgrade for players wanting a more modern, punchy P-Bass tone. It’s especially great if you're pairing it with a DiMarzio Model J or Ultra Jazz in the bridge for a balanced, powerful sound—perfect for rock, funk, and heavier styles.

Product Description

DiMarzio DP122BK, Model P-StyleDiMarzio was the first company to produce replacement pickups for electric guitars and basses, and has maintained its position since the early 1970's with a successful blend of tradition and innovation.

The DiMarzio P delivers the same high-quality output with an even more powerful drive. This makes it ideal for modern sounds and playing techniques and, in combination with the J-model on the bridge, has become almost a classic.
