dave_bass5 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) As above. Ive looked in my usual places but all i can find is the set. I only want the bridge pup, to go in my PJ. I know i could buy the set and sell the neck pup but id rather just buy the one. Cheers. Edited October 23, 2013 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm sure you can order direct from Dimarzio, also I know that HotRoxUK in Nottingham, can sometimes do special orders. These pickups are great, I have a set on my jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm sure Thomann sell them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks for the replies. As far as i can see Thomanns (normally my first port of call) only seem to have the set rather than the singe pup. Ive not inquired anywhere yet though, I've just been looking at websites. I hadn't thought about getting it direct, ill look in to that. Ive never used one of these pups but by all accounts its pretty special, and im sure will be a good match for a slightly higher output P pup going in the bass.

Prime_BASS Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I will always recommend this over a lot of other stuff out there (unless you want to spend silly money) but as an alternative due to ease of getting a hold of them, the SD hot stack or quarter pounder J are good to blend against a P, along with the Delano J single coil with the fat musicman style pole pieces. Although first of all I would spend some serious time adjusting pickup height etc to balance it, a long with probably not using both pickups on 100% volume.

hamfist Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 IMO, the Dimarzio Ultrajazz (DP148) is a better match in a PJ, due to it's higher output and more bottom end than the model J (much better to balance with the P) . Its a Great noiseless-J pickup in it's own right IMO. I also happen to have one black bridge position ULtrajazz for sale at the moment too ! (see Access. & misc items for sale). If I wasn't completely into EMG's at the moment it's the Ultrajazz I would use in a passive PJ setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panamonte Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 +1 for the Ultrajazz in a PJ set-up. Very happy with how mine sounds matched with 62 RI P p/ups. Sounds good on its own too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the replies. I didnt get any notification about them so missed out on the one for sale, shame as i would have taken it. I think i will go for the Ultra jazz, they do indeed seem to be a lot easier to get hold of as a single, although i will look in to the other suggestions as well. Its not that there is anything wrong with the stock one, but i know when i put the Fralin in, which is a bit louder than the stock one, im worried the bridge pup might get drowned out a bit. I do want to use both pups on occasionally, i like the PJ tone and that was a reason for buying a PJ. I understand the slight tone drop when both are on 100%, but id hate for the bridge pup to get lost.

dave_bass5 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Bringing this back to life as im still looking for something to go in the bridge position. Ive been using a Fender Super 55 and although it is noiseless, and balances very well with my Fralin, its just not quite the tone im after. not quite burpy enough. Im probably going to get the new GBZ EMGPJ set in a few months when they are available but id like to try another split coil jazz pup before then. I am even thinking of going back to the stock VM Jazz pup if i get really bored over the next month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
