5-string bass pickups go vintage with the Area J™ 5

Like the original Area J™, the Area J™ 5 was designed for warmth, sustain, and a clean, singing tone.

The low-pull magnetic field allows the strings to ring clearly and enhances the sound of the low “B” string.

And like all DiMarzio® bass pickups, the Area J™ 5 cancels hum. With medium output and a very balanced tone, the Area J™ 5 works equally well with passive and active electronics.

The Area J™ 5 is not a high-output pickup, but it has a lot of headroom in terms of dynamic range.
It can also be custom-tuned with different control values250K controls produce a very round, classic J sound, while 500K controls introduce more attack and treble response.

The Area J™ is not loud, but it has a very focused attack, so it has power where it counts – at the center of the tone.
The lows are very clear and clean, and the highs are both smooth and open-sounding. 
We've reduced the magnet-pull, and included 4-conductor wiring to allow both series and parallel humbucking modes.
