The Ultra Jazz Bass Pickup is a pickup that top luthiers recommend because it has the right blend of vintage tone with modern convenience. Luthiers sing the praises about the Ultra Jazz Bass Pickup because yes, it’s just that good. You want that classic Jazz Bass tone with no hum? You’ve got it with this offering from DiMarzio.
The three main advantages of the Ultra Jazz Bass Pickup are:

You get hum canceling that doesn’t “squash” tone, true Jazz Bass single-coil tone, and actually get more for less because the price is so nice.

Love the Jazz note, we moved here from Boise back in 89 and attended the Salt Palace (Jeff manloe/blue edwards/big t/hansen days)Utah/SLC sadly does not have an identity at all and over the years it’s been sad to watch the jazz note and colors fade away into the bland blue/black/light blue/dark blue/mountains logo. I understand marketing and $$$ but the low point was the black and teal logo the franchise has a style/logo/culture identity problem. I can’t tell if the current logo is supposed to be part western theme logo with a ice cold russian winter theme it’s direction is lost.I hope you bring back the Jazz note and Broadway lettering in some way. Sure Jazz has nothing to do with Utah but that’s not a bad thing.. give you franchise some style! If you abandon all colors at least I hope you bring back the note at the very least, we know the Jazz are the Utah Jazz so leave out the utah part in the logo. Thanks!Matthew
(Not a comment but a question?) I’m convinced I want DiMarzios on my P and on my J because I liked the one I had put on my P in ’80 w/ an original Badass bridge and brass nut. My question is: How do I decide whether I want an Ultra-Jazz or a Model-J on the J and whether I want a Split-P or a Model-P on the P? I don’t care much at all about “vintage tone,” just sustain and harmonics, etc. Thanks. Jon
Jon, feel free to give us a call at 877-839-3531. We’re more than happy to assist you with getting the right sustain and harmonics you’re looking for.
The Ultra jazz is a cool pickup I have one installed along with a DiMarzio P bass pickup (on my precision bass) married to a Glockenklang pre …, killer sound !
