DiMarzio Model J? pickups reproduce the warmth and roundness of the traditional Fender® Jazz Bass® sound with increased power and hum-cancellation. The additional power translates into a bigger sound that emphasizes the resonant character of the instrument. The DiMarzio Model J? pickup?s sensitivity and deep tone are also the perfect complement to fretless basses. Double-stop glissandos and delicate violin-style vibrato speak with a classic, woody voice simply by backing off slightly on the tone control. For an even more varied choice of tones, pair a bridge position DiMarzio Model J? with a DiMarzio Model P® pickup. The warm, fat tone of the DiMarzio Model P® plus the tight punch of the DiMarzio Model J? open up the sound of any bass.

Summary: Awesome replacement pickups
Comment: I recently purchased a set of DP123 pickups for my made-in-Mexico (MIM) Fender Jazz Bass. When I began to install them, I noticed that the bridge pickup wasn't going to fit into the body of the bass.
This problem is NOT DiMarzios fault.
Fender decided to use a the same size pickup in both postions on the MIM basses, while their American Basses use a slightly larger pickup on the bridge.
To their credit, when I called DiMarzio about how to proceed, they just said "Send us the pickup and we'll give you one the right size. They rapidly shipped me the new pickup and I was up and running in no time at all.
If you're somewhat technical, replacing pickups is pretty easy.
Simply loosen the strings, remove the pick-guard and the electronics cover. You need to have a soldering iron strong enough to be able to desolder/resolder the ground wire on the back of the volume pots. Just follow the wiring instructions that come with the pickups and you're all set.
The new pickups are very warm and punchy. They're humbucking pickups, so they're very clean sounding and growl nicely once you get above 8 or so on the volume pot. Compared with the stock pickups the Model J's really shine. My MIM bass now sounds great!
Highly recommended

Summary: I can attest
Comment: I've played a couple of basses with the 123's in them, but I'm telling you the DP149Bk's are a superior DiMarzio. They are sometimes referred as the "Ultra-Jazz" pickups. Lot's of response from Bass, midrange, and treble. Check out the charts at DiMarzio's website. I put a set of the 149's in my Jazz Fretless, with some 500 pots and a 1.9 cap... thought I had an active setup for a minute. The highs(which go to ground first) are pumped (with the help of the 500 pots and 1.9 caps). Those highs and the higher end of the midrange aren't going anywhere except through the sub-woofer. Clear, clean superb and definately the tonality I was searching for. I was thinking about going to a Music Man stingray 5, but the need isn't there anylonger, unless I need an egobass.
The 123's should do, if you're into a straight ahead rock sound with a more focused sound. I like a little variety in my approach to a lot of tunes, so I had to change my control settings. Using the neck pickup more for lower sounds, rather than the tone control to bury the waveform in the mud. It's refreshing to have all this control whereas it didn't exist with the stock Fender P/U's. DiMarzio has definately aced the quality department and the tech's at the factory were very helpful in working with me in figuring out the the rest of the components. If you change pickups, change the pots and caps along with them. That is a must. Otherwise you're compromising the upgrade.
