Installation Instructions 
 
Important Note: The cover dimensions of 
the Ultra Jazz 5™ are not the same as 5-
string Fender Jazz Bass
®
. The Ultra Jazz 
5™ can therefore NOT be installed as 
direct replacements on these basses 
without modification.  
 
Dimensions and String Spacing 
 
The neck (DP547) and bridge models (DP548) 
are the same length, 3.725” (94.6mm). String 
spacing is 2.72” (69mm) for the DP547 and 
2.836” (72mm.) for the DP548.   
 
General Instructions 
If you have purchased our pickup to replace one 
that is currently in your guitar, do the following: 
• Remove your old pickup carefully. Installing 
your new pickup will be much easier if you 
unsolder your original pickup cleanly, rather 
than cut its wires. Make a note of exactly 
where the old pickup was connected as, in 
most cases, the new one will go to the same 
place. 
• Use a soldering iron with a fine tip (25 to 45 
watts) and thin rosin core solder for all 
connections.  
• If you intend to use a miniature switch with the 
pickup, try to be as clean as possible with the 
solder connections to avoid short circuits or 
damage to the switch. DiMarzio offers two 
Push/Pull Potentiometers, the EP1200PP 
(250K) and the EP1201PP (500K) with 
double-pole, double-throw miniature switches 
built in. The switches perform exactly like 
separate miniature switches, and we 
recommend them in situations where you do 
not want to drill extra holes in the face or 
pickguard of your instrument. 
 
IMPORTANT: Although other brands of pickups 
may have the same color wires as DiMarzio

, 
the connections are not necessarily the same. 
For our pickup to function properly, you must 
follow these instructions. 
 
 
 
Standard Wiring 
 
The Ultra Jazz 5
TM
 is a humcancelling pickup 
with two coils, which are connected internally in 
series. The wiring consists of a red, a green and 
a gray wire.  
 
Solder the RED wire to the hot connection in the 
guitar’s circuit. In most cases where you are 
replacing a pickup, the RED wire will be 
soldered to the same place as the hot, or center 
wire of the original pickup. The GREEN and 
GRAY  wires are soldered to ground. The ground 
connection is usually made to the back of a 
control. 
 
If you install this pickup in a guitar with other 
pickup types and the pickups are out of phase 
when they are on together, solder the RED  and 
GRAY wires to ground, the GREEN wire to hot. 
 
Phase Switch 
 
Phase switching can only function in an 
instrument with two or more pickups. The effect 
will only occur when both pickups are on, and 
will be most obvious when the pickups are at 
approximately the same volume.  Only one of 
the pickups should be wired to the phase switch, 
and it makes no audible difference which pickup 
you choose. The switch is a double-pole, 
double-throw type: DPDT (DiMarzio catalog 
number EP1106) or push-pull pot (EP1200PP or 
EP1201PP): 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The wire labeled HOT OUTPUT is connected to 
the same point as the original pickup. The wire 
labeled  GROUND OUTPUT is soldered to a 
ground connection, such as the back of a 
control.  
 
Component Values 
 
The Ultra Jazz 5
 TM
 will perform well with 250K 
ohm or 500K ohm controls. The EP1202 1-Meg 
tone control can also be used. Higher-resistance 
controls offer a little more power and extended 
treble response. Using 250K controls will result 
in a little warmer sound and a slight drop in 
power. If your bass uses a blend pot for pickup 
selection, we recommend a value of 500K. 
IMPORTANT: To avoid compromising the 
performance of the Ultra Jazz 5
 TM
 , do not use 
25K ohm controls.  
 
 
Additional Notes 
Wiring diagrams and technical information may 
be found on our website:   http://www.dimarzio.
com 
All DiMarzio pickups have been potted in an 
exclusive wax formula to eliminate squeal and 
subdue extraneous noise. For further noise 
reduction, we recommend shielding the entire 
guitar internally with DiMarzio

 Shielding Tape 
(EP1000). This will eliminate stray hum fields 
from the circuitry of your guitar. 
 
If you have any problems or questions, please 
call our tech line, (718) 816-8112 between 12:00 
PM and 5:00 PM Eastern Time or email
