J pickup to go with Dimarzio Split P

[ironflippy]

I put a DiMarzio Split P into my P bass last year, and while it's good for some things, I need a bit more high end punch for my bands newer songs. I was wondering what complements the Split P in the bridge position? DiMarzio's site says that the Ultra Jazz works well with it, but I wanted some other opinions. I like the sound of the Model J, but I have no idea how it will work with the Split P. Ideas? Thanks.

DiMarzio Model One.

Quote from website:

Originally designed as a direct replacement for Gibson® EB series neck pickups, the Model One™ has found new life as a woofer/tweeter in multi-pickup bass setups. By combining the Model One™ with Split P™, DiMarzio Model P® or DiMarzio Model J™ pickups, you can effectively turn your bass into a woofer/tweeter setup with on-board control of sonic extremes. By sending the Model One™ to a rig with an 18-inch speaker cabinet and plugging the other pickup's output into your regular gear, you have the makings of a sound with earth-moving bottom and crisp, transparent high-end. What's that sound like? Check out Billy Sheehan. It's the monstrous sound he's pioneered that's made Rock shake for years.

Go for it!

I would do that if the Split P had the high end that I wanted. It has good lows, so I was looking for something with good highs to compensate. Thanks though!
