The DP549 set is a serious upgrade for your 5-string J-Bass if you crave a more modern, punchy tone. It’s fantastic for funk, slap, and genres where clarity and a strong low-end are key – ideal for players wanting a more aggressive Jazz Bass voice without sacrificing definition.

Product Description

DiMarzio DP549, Ultra J-Style Pickup SetDiMarzio was the first company to produce replacement pickups for electric guitars and basses and has been able to maintain its position since the early 70s through a successful mixture of tradition and innovation.

Of course, DiMarzio also has pickups for today's widely used 5 string bass guitars in its catalogue. The requirements are, of course, special, as the additional low B string must be big-sounding without becoming muddy

If you’re keen for the Jazz bass sound but want it louder and with more treble the J Ultra will provide you exactly that: the sound is rich, funky and somewhat bigger, the sound stays precise also at the lowest frequencies!

Comes in a set with neck and bridge pickups.

  • Pickup for 5 string bass guitar
  • Set for bridge & neck position
  • Wiring 2 conductor
  • Magnet alnico 5 & ceramic
  • Output: 250 mV
  • DC Resistance: 17.50 K
PROS
  • • Delivers a noticeably brighter, more articulate Jazz Bass tone.
  • • Handles the low B string exceptionally well, avoiding muddiness.
  • • The bridge pickup provides a tight, defined low-end response.
  • • DiMarzio’s proven quality construction ensures long-term reliability.
CONS
  • • The increased output might be too aggressive for some players’ preferred tone.
  • • Might not be the best choice for players seeking a truly vintage, warm sound.
  • • The ‘Ultra’ voicing can slightly reduce versatility for certain genres.
