This DiMarzio DP148 BK is a great upgrade for J-Bass players wanting more punch and clarity. It’s got a modern edge without losing that classic jazz bass feel, and the coil-splitting option is a nice bonus for adding tonal variety. Ideal for funk, rock, and players seeking a hotter, more articulate bridge pickup.

Product Description

DiMarzio DP148 BK, Ultra J-Style Pickup

DiMarzio was first to offer replacement pickups for electric-guitars and -basses and since the early 70s still holds its position with a successful combination of tradition and innovation.

If you love the jazz-bass sound but you would like to see more treble and volume but without side noise, with the J Ultra you'll get exactly that: the sound is fat, funky and somehow bigger!

The bridge-version can be very well combined with the P-Model or the P-Split.

  • More than Model J
  • Position: Bridge
  • Wiring standard four conductor
  • Magnet Alnico 5 and ceramic
  • Output 250 mV
  • DC resistance 12.30 K
PROS
  • • Alnico 5/ceramic magnet combo delivers a unique tonal blend.
  • • Increased output provides more volume and headroom without excessive noise.
  • • Standard 4-conductor wiring allows for coil-splitting versatility.
  • • Well-suited for funk and modern styles while retaining jazz bass warmth.
CONS
  • • Alnico 5/ceramic combination may not appeal to purists seeking a vintage tone.
  • • Bridge-only design limits its application to specific bass configurations.
  • • Higher DC resistance could slightly reduce low-end response in some setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Alnico 5 provides warmth and clarity, while the ceramic adds punch and definition, creating a more complex and versatile sound than a single magnet type.
Yes, DiMarzio specifically recommends pairing it with a P-Model or P-Split pickup for a balanced and complementary tone across the bass.
While the output is higher, the standard J-Bass mounting and familiar wiring should make the installation relatively seamless without drastically changing the playing feel.
