DiMarzio DP122CR

Dimarzio DP-122cr, Har jeg brugt i et stykke tid og har flere af dem på mine P-Basser. PUén har jeg valgt pga. dens fremtrædende mellem tone register uden at at gå på kompromis med bunden. Der er masser af volume og et godt growl som giver sig udtryk rent dynamisk (afhængig af pizzikering). Da jeg normalt spiller på aktive basser, sætter jeg pris det kraftige output DP-122 har som passiv. Pickuppen som er Hum-Cancelled har ingen støj og har generel klar tone. Der er afhængig af wiring, mulighed for at lave split-coil opsætning via en switch. PUéns cremefarve giver et godt vintageagtigt look på eksempelvis en ældre bas. Alt i alt en rigtigt god og alsidig PU til lige at tune din gamle fender P-bas,eller opgradering af en Squier eller anden kopi.

DiMarzio pickups are my go to replacement split coil pickup when the stock pickups don't cut it. I bought this set to replace a failing set on a Precision Bass copy.

Everything you need is included in the packaging (a nice plastic box) - screws, wiring instructions and you can even use the foam as a mount.

What's great about these pickups (aside from their already great sound) is that because they are four wire, you can fit a 'Dual Sound' switch, which allows you to run the pickups in Parallel (normal operation) or Series, which gives a bit more output. I like to refer to it as the 'loud switch'!

The pickups look great - I've often felt that the cream goes with any colour bass, particularly black with a black pickguard.

The pickups have two ceramic magnets sandwiching the pole pieces, which can be adjusted to balance string volume if needed and they have a great middy sound, which suits a Precision Bass perfectly - these were a popular upgrade in the late 70s and early 80s and they have that sound in abudance.

With the tone control wide open, you can get a fairly aggressive tone out of them, but by rolling off the tone even a little, more vintage tones can be achieved.

A bargain for the price and a worthwhile upgrade to your P-Bass! Highly recommended.

I've had these pickups in my P bass for quite a while now and they produce a really aggressive, punchy tone that i don't think i'll ever grow tired of. They have a growly, mid range kinda sound to them that I find works best when overdriving a tube amp or when used with fuzz or some other kind of dirt pedal. Their output is noticably hotter than normal which plays a big part in that growly sound, but that's the whole point, they're intended to sound aggressive and they do that very, very well.
