Re: Dimarzio Breed with ceramic magnet
That sounds like a bad idea to me. All I can say is.......harsh.
Mind you I'm not a Dimarzio fan at all.

No but I know the Breed and the tendencies of ceramic magnets.
I dont see that pairing being attractive at all.

Re: Dimarzio Breed with ceramic magnet
If it of any help? all i can say it that dimarzio's seem to be focused in the midrange( low and high mids) and a ceramic will enhance and prodominate mids that are already there?
I have heard that magnet swaps on dimarzio's tend to turn out not so great?

The Breed is quite good, actually.
Will sup'ing it up w/ceramic mag make any improvement?
Hmmm ... if it did, I think that DM would've already started making one, don't you?

Re: Dimarzio Breed with ceramic magnet
I know a guy who has talked to steve blucher over at DIM and he was told that '
before a DIM pup goes into production they try ceramic/alnico magnets in them?
like for instance the tone zone was originally going to have a ceramic in it, but players felt that it was best with a alnico 5.
Blucher had taken the TZ proto over to EVH when he was signing up with ernie ball and EVH said the TZ with a ceramic was "TOO MUCH"
so then steve used a 5 in it and it was much closer to what EVH wanted.
like i said in my first responce DIM's are voiced pretty heavy in the mids when they wind them and a ceramic olny enhances the mids and tightens the bass.
if you do put a ceramic in a breed only YOU can say if it is better or not?
I would think it would sound more "METAL? like for older metallica stuff or testament?

Re: Dimarzio Breed with ceramic magnet
That's my whole point, Sabotage ...
the pup designer already has models in place with the ceramic mag because they sounded better when the pup was voiced for a certain frequency response.
Why mess around with something that was already tried and aborted?

Re: Dimarzio Breed with ceramic magnet
Evolutions have Ceramic magnets I believe....an AlnicoV may make them sound less harsh and high endy.

Re: Dimarzio Breed with ceramic magnet
I'm pretty sure that the Ceramic magnet will add even more highs and lows than an A5 magnet.
pretty sure......I'm totally open to being incorrect on that and this is a great place to be corrected.
Anyone want to add to this?
