Dimarzio Sixties PJ Bass Pickup Pair in Gloss Black Metal

The DiMarzio Sixties P™ Bass Pickup Pair in Gloss Black Metal captures the iconic sound and growl of the classic 1960s Fender Precision Bass. Crafted with vintage-style enamel-coated wire and flush-mounted Alnico 5 rod magnets, these pickups deliver the rich Motown soul and funk tones that defined an era. Designed to fit perfectly in American Standard Precision Basses, the Sixties P™ offers an authentic vintage vibe with modern reliability and performance.

Featuring a sculpted Relentless™ metal cover that is thinner than traditional plastic covers, the pickups sit closer to the strings, enhancing dynamics and tonal response. The compound radius shape of the cover matches the fingerboard arch for added comfort and playability. Fully potted to reduce microphonics and shielded to be 3db quieter than stock pickups, the Sixties P™ ensures a noise-free playing experience without sacrificing character.

Installation is streamlined with a circuit board mounting system that positions the height adjustment screws below the pickguard, preventing accidental finger bumps during play. Included in the kit is Billy Sheehan’s isolation mount tubing, providing further vibration control and stability. Handmade in New York City, these pickups bring vintage tone and modern innovation together in a package ready to elevate your bass sound.
