DiMarzio Model P Bass Guitar Pickup – Black

DiMarzio Model P Bass Guitar Pickup – Black

Upgrade your bass guitar’s sound with the DiMarzio DP122BK Model P Bass Guitar Pickup, a powerful split-coil replacement pickup designed to deliver punchy bass frequencies, aggressive midrange presence, and outstanding note definition. Engineered for Fender Precision Bass-style instruments, the Model P combines a classic pickup configuration with a higher-output design to enhance your bass’s performance across various musical styles.

Introduced in 1977, the DiMarzio Model P has become a well-established choice for bassists seeking a fuller and more assertive tone without losing the natural character of their instrument. Its two-piece, hum-cancelling construction helps minimise electrical interference while delivering a strong, focused signal suitable for rehearsal, recording, and live performance.

Featuring ceramic magnets, the DP122BK produces a powerful, articulate response with plenty of low-end depth and pronounced midrange growl. Its tonal character is particularly effective for bassists who want their instrument to remain clearly audible in a dense band mix, whether playing driving rock basslines, funk grooves, or aggressive alternative music.

The pickup’s four-conductor wiring provides additional flexibility for customised wiring configurations, allowing experienced installers to explore different tonal options. Its passive design requires no battery, making it a straightforward replacement for compatible bass guitars.

The DiMarzio Model P also works well alongside a bridge-position DiMarzio Model J or Ultra Jazz pickup in basses equipped with both P-style and J-style pickup positions. This combination provides an extended range of tones, from warm and rounded bass sounds to tighter, more articulate responses.

Finished in classic black, the DP122BK offers a versatile appearance that complements a wide variety of bass guitar designs. Whether you’re restoring an older instrument or upgrading a modern Precision Bass-style guitar, the DiMarzio Model P delivers a strong combination of low-end authority, midrange definition, and reliable hum-cancelling performance.
