Vintage Warmth with Modern Clarity for Your 5-String Bass
The DiMarzio DP552BK Area J Bridge & Neck Set brings the classic J-bass tone to 5-string basses with modern enhancements designed for today’s bass players. Modeled after the original Area J™, the Area J™ 5 set is engineered to deliver warmth, sustain, and a clean, singing tone that bassists crave. Its low-pull magnetic field allows strings to resonate freely, ensuring that the low “B” string sounds clear and articulate—a critical feature for 5-string players.
With medium output and a balanced tone, the Area J™ 5 is versatile enough to work seamlessly with both passive and active electronics, making it suitable for any setup. Whether you’re laying down the groove in a jazz ensemble or driving the rhythm in a rock band, this pickup set provides the tonal clarity and hum-canceling performance you need.
Important Installation Note: The cover dimensions of the Area J™ 5 differ from standard 5-string Fender Jazz Bass® pickups, meaning modification is required for direct installation on these basses. This allows the Area J™ 5 to offer a custom fit for enhanced performance and tone.
