The sound of the late 70s/early 80s!
Andy D 12.04.2017
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.

u
aggressive precision sound
undead 26.12.2016
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.

Excellent pickups.

excellent pickups for my MIM p Fenfer. i replaced the original pups with the dimarzio. perhaps i lost a bit of the old vintage sound of my 50s reissue bass but i got a deeper heavier sound. and this colour gives this extra aesthetic! 4 stars for the sound but thats only for my ears. perfect magnets, perfect colour, perfect price! highly recomended.

Ordentlich Dampf für P-Bässe
Spyder 16.11.2018
Meine Damen und Herren,
ich dachte ja, dass ein anderer Pickup keinen großen Unterschied machen würde und habe mir den DiMarzio vorrangig der Optik wegen bestellt.

Nach dem Einbau - der übrigens schnell erledigt war, dank der beiligenden Anleitung - war ich aber doch ein wenig neugierig.
Und ich muss sagen: Fett. Was da aus meinem Squier VM P-Bass herauskommt ist einfach nur fett.

Die Bässe und Tiefmitten drücken schön, ohne dabei wummerig oder undefiniert zu klingen. Der Basssound ist präsent und auch mit Big Muff nicht undifferenziert sondern musikalisch.
Ich muss dazu sagen, dass ich den Bass zusätzlich schon vor geraumer Zeit mit einem Emerson Kit ausgestattet hatte. Damit harmoniert der DP122 einfach sehr gut.

Zum Einsatz kommt der Bass auf Cis heruntergestimmt bei schnellem Stoner-Rock'n'Roll. Der Pickup überträgt auch die tiefen Töne wunderbar und hat einen hohen Output. Man kann also getrost die beiden Tonabnehmer etwas weiter reinschrauben.

Als Hinweis sei noch gesagt, dass der Pickup nicht mit zusätzlicher Schaumstoff-Unterfütterung ausgestattet ist. Ich konnte jedoch die Unterlagen der alten Pickups recyclen.
Vielleicht könnte man aus dem Schaumstoff der Verpackung des DiMarzio etwas ähnliches basteln.

Kurzum: Ich bin begeistert.
