DiMarzio Relentless J Pair DP 302
DiMarzio introduced the world’s
first Fender Jazz® bass replacement pickups at the NAMM show of 1977.
DiMarzio invented the dual bar ceramic magnet structure for extra power and
included twin hum-cancelling coils for decreased noise. The
DiMarzio Model J™ is 50 percent quieter than the original Fender Jazz® bass
single coil pickups, and it's 60 percent
louder.
We also added adjustable pole
pieces to improve the string balance and designed them in our signature cream
color. At its introduction, the DiMarzio Model J™ immediately become an
industry standard and has been the pickup of choice on
thousands of hit recordings.
With the introduction of the Relentless™ P bass®
pickups, co-designed with Billy Sheehan, we began to think how we could make our
Jazz Bass® pickup even better.
As with the Relentless™
pickups, we removed all the hard edges from the standard J Bass® pickup
and added an arch to the top of the pickup to bring the sensing coils and pole
pieces closer to the strings. These improvements increase
the dynamic range and make active circuits
unnecessary.
We invented (patent pending)
parallelogram-shaped coils to add dimension, punch, and dynamics to the
Relentless™ J sound, and we incorporated metal covers with
foil-shielded cables to further suppress the background
noise.
DiMarzio’s extra shielding
makes the Relentless™ J better for both recording and stage performances.
We mounted it onto a robust .09375” thick circuit board base plate so we could
eliminate the annoying protruding mounting screws — ultimately creating a more comfortable and consistent foundation
to rest your fingers on.
To improve the balance when
both pickups are used together, we made the bridge position pickup louder
than the neck position pickup. When the pickups are blended,
you get a better volume match.
The Relentless™ pickups
incorporate Neodymium magnets and produce 70 percent more output than
traditional passive pickups, and they’re dead quiet. We’ve expanded the
mid-range punch, adding snappy highs and precise lows. These
pickups have a broad magnetic field so you can even bend notes without volume
drop out.
Relentless™ J pickups will
breathe new life into any bass, increase playability, and work well for
any style of music from Motown to
metal.
