Normal JB and normal 59n are not great for me. I really dig the Dimebucker for non-metal applications.

I want to try this combo in a screw on neck superstrat with a Floyd before I write it off.Originally posted by Benjy_26 View Post

Which combo? The Dime?Originally posted by Demanic View PostAin't nothin' but a G thang, baby.Comment

No, stock 59n with JB. But 4 conductor pups into a 5 way switch with push/pulls on the volume and tone.Originally posted by Benjy_26 View Post

I truly like my Jazz necks; which do not seem to get a lot of love around here. I cannot say there is anything I am using for what I play, which I do not like.I miss the 80's (girls) !!!

Dimebucker was specifically designed for his full-mahogany neck/body short-scale with the rosewood board and loose tension strings.
On the old Duncan website it was highly recommended for guitars with basswood bodies and rosewood boards, and after trying mine in several hosts over the years I strongly agree.
It really needs the combing effect on the highs that basswood can contribute, otherwise it can indeed get shrill in a hurry, especially with a floyd as intended.

If you were trying it for the bridge, look into the Rio Grande Muy Grande.Originally posted by ArtieToo View Post

Sounds interesting... how's the treble bite?Originally posted by Benjy_26 View Post
I love THICC tones, but I also need need need that bit of bite on the top end. That's why I've become such a big fan of A6 and A9 magnet swaps – I need that treble ZING that an A5 gives you, but I hate scooping the mids out, because I'm down with the thiccnessGibson LP, Burstbucker 3 A6/ 490R A4

It still bites pretty hard. IDK if it's the top end or the very high upper mids, but pinch harmonics jump out of this thing and it has plenty of grind through a Marshall style amp. The bottom end is also tighter than, say, a JB, which is in the same ballpark as far as resistance, goes. It could be the wind, or the alnico poles, but it's an interesting pickup for sure.Originally posted by zizyphus View PostAin't nothin' but a G thang, baby.Comment

So . . . what would you put this in? LP, SG, Strat, other: ______________Originally posted by Benjy_26 View PostComment

I've had it in a MIM strat that I converted to HSS. It kept up with the tone and output of the ceramic MIM pickups (which I really like for rock) REALLY well. I had it set up to auto split on pos 4 with 250k pots. One tone pot was assigned to the bridge, one to the neck, and the middle was wide open.Originally posted by ArtieToo View Post
I also had it in a Squier Mustang HH shortly paired with an APHn and two 500k pots. Again, it was a good tonal pairing and had enough output to kick the front end of my Marshall pretty hard.Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby.Comment
