hunkychunky1 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 HI There ! I am trying to fit two dimarzio model j pickups into my fender jazz bass. I would like to use the dual sound capability of these p/ups and want to install new pots with the switching built in so i dont have to drill any new holes. What impedance pots should i use ? 250k or 500k i am confused are the model j humbuckers or single coil ? am i trying to coil tap a humbucker ? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Hunkychunky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOD2 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 From the blurb on the website, the Dimarzio Model J is a humbucking pickup with the option to wire the two coils in series or in parallel (dual sound). This keeps both coils "on" and retains the humbucking mode as opposed to a "coil tap" which actually bypasses one of the coils. It's a direct replacement for Fender pickups which means you can use the stock pots which are usually 250k audio (log) pots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
