The inspiring new Relentless pickups combine ceramic (Relentless P) and Neodymium magnets (Relentless J), producing a better balance and up to 70 percent more output than traditional passive pickups. And best of all, these titans of teeth-rattling tone are dead quiet. Expanded mid-range punch, snappy highs, and precise lows are hallmarks of the Relentless J, while the Relentless P pickups sound simply massive, offering impressive output levels, beefy lows, growling midrange, and crispy highs that sing with superior string definition. All Relentless pickups are fully potted and include our new comfort-sculpted metal covers with foil-shielded cables, along with a broad magnetic field. There are no limitations here, just high-powered tone.
Relentless pickups will breathe new life into any bass, increase playability, and work well for any style of music from Motown to metal.
DiMarzio’s Relentless PJ pickups are made in the U.S.A. and may now be ordered for immediate delivery. Suggested List Price for the Relentless PJ is $310.00 (MAP $219.99).
Dimarzio continues that tradition with the new Sixties PJ set, a rumble-and-roar replacement designed to satisfy those with a vintage soul and a fervent heart. The Sixties PJ pickups revitalize time-honored tones, utilizing keenly-applied technology and artist-tested ingenuity. Both pickups use a fully humbucking coil design with sculpted metal covers. Our potted coils connect to the electronics with foil-shielded cables, keeping the system incredibly quiet with a tone-forward sound. The Sixties PJ has an impressive 3db of noise reduction over stock PJ sets.
DiMarzio, Inc. announces the release of the Sixties PJ (DP306) pickups for 4 string basses.
DiMarzio invented replacement pickups in the early 70s, and guitar builders and custom shops soon recognized the improvement that adding DiMarzio pickups made to their instruments. This started a trend, where bass players and manufacturers began combining our P Bass and J Bass models in one instrument, creating the enduring, eponymous PJ Set. Builders like Jackson and Charvel began using PJ combinations instead of the more traditional pickup configurations.
It’s not just the lower noise floor that enlivens these pickups’ character. Their Alnico 5 magnets follow the arch of the chic metal covers, ensuring a more even, immediate, and balanced response from each string. Player comfort is also optimized, thanks to borrowed improvements from the Relentless pickups’ rounded edges and curved top shape, co-designed with the legendary Billy Sheehan. All these innovations deliver increased headroom, improved dynamics, and a more detailed response.
The Sixties PJ pickups also feature the same circuit board mounting system, which lowers the height adjustment screws so they are below the pickguard, removing any obstruction to right-hand techniques.
All Sixties P and Sixties J pickups are handmade in New York City, tested, and matched for quality control.
