Re: Dirty Fingers Or Invader
what do you mean by better...if it were me I would go for the invader...in truth they are pretty similar pups...my money would still be on the invaderIf you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change. With that in mind, today I may or may not agree with the post you just read!

Re: Dirty Fingers Or Invader
According to Zerberus, aside from the oxide caps, they're more or less the same thing. FWIW, I took the caps out of my Invader, and stuck in hex screws the other day, and I did not like what it did to the sound. It kinda took some of the nuts out of it.
As far as which is a better pup, Invader hands down. Even if they were identical, you'd have to be pretty f*cked up to pay an extra $20 for the Gibson. I think Gibson pups are a stupid investment, as there is almost always gonna be a superior Duncan for $20-30 less.“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt

I disagree 100% about which one sounds "better", though“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt

Re: Dirty Fingers Or Invader
What axe do you have? and what are you putting it into? I haven't tried the dirty fingers but i do like the invader alot. If they are similiar then its all a matter of whihc one you want. I know tom delonge used to use the invader but now uses the dirty figners accoridng to him the dirty fingers has more clarity than the invader. I would like to try the dirty fingers one day though.Proud Master of Strats.....

Re: Dirty Fingers Or Invader
Let it be knowen that like jeremy said, tom was able to use whatever he wanted in his signature strat but when he moved to gibson they demanded a gibson pickup...also did tom try an invader in his 333 or did he try a dirty fingers in his Strat? sure this pickup changed...but look at the guitar he went from a strat with a hardtail to a 333/335 style guitar...that would make a much larger difference in tone that going to a dirty fingers from an invader!If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change.

Re: Dirty Fingers Or Invader
I've never thought of Dirty Fingers pickups as being a high output pickup. All of the ones that I own (and I've owned a few, all from guitars that I bought that had them already installed) all are pretty anemic compared to my Invaders. So, my answer would have to be the Invader.

What about the 490T?
So, rather than calling it stupid, I'll just say that I don't understand why someone would opt for a Gibson over a Duncan.“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt
