Re: Any Dimebucker users? Opportunity to buy one but I'd love some input
The dimebucker i think usually gets a bad rap, but my buddy has or in the bridge of his V and its badass. Tons of highs and harmonics. Very tight and clear. It is LOUD and SENSITIVE too, louder than an emg 81. It can cause some feedback issues which could be good or bad depending on what you play, like if you USE the feed back. Otherwise you gotta watch the gain with this one, you wont need much. Its cleans are very impressive for the beast it is too, not the BEST but theyre a unique kind of clean. Very twangy and poppy, finger style country players dream, really gotta findthe sweet spots on the volume knob though. Its a very fun pickup to have, it certainly favors more mid and bass oriented instruments and amps. Cool thing is because of the blades, you dont lose volume when bending away from the polepieces either, which is a plus. This thing is a LEAD pickup. Straight up. Period. Its rhythms are cool in a thrash sort of way but otherwise most rhythm stuff you do with it is sub par. Thats why people usually pair it with a 59 or more vintage pickup in the neck to keep the guitar from being so much of a one trick pony. Very underrated pickup. If you work with it, itll work wonders. Its not so much of a "drop it in and everythig sounds better" pickup, but what you get out of it will be very rewarding.
