DiMarzio bridge choice! Need help

Re: DiMarzio bridge choice! Need help

Really? I don't find the bottom end that bad for the pickups other qualities like thickness. I did mention it may be loose to some people's tastes, but I've never found it too loose to play some speed/thrash metal for example. Maybe it's the SG that compensates, but I think I mentioned that too. Cheers!

Well in your setup it might not be that loose....but compared to other pickups...the TZ is one of the loosest and muddy ones I've tried.


It's not a bad pickup....just compared to other pickups the bottom end is just obscene.

Ok...I've just tried the 500K volume pot with DP103 PAF...now the output problem is fixed but seems to be treblish now..:blackeye:
I asked DiMarzio tech which one is the tightest in the low end,
clear-articulate but still not harsh (and PAFish)?

Virtual HOT PAF.......265mV H-5 M-6.5 B-6.5 (9.13K)
Breed (neck)...........325mV H-5 M-7.5 B-7.5 (10.14K)
Al DiMeola (bridge)...275mV H-5 M-8 B-8 (10.84K)

They told me to try the Breed neck...should i go for it? Does anybody here have this pickup in the bridge position?

I say follow close to their recomdations. They should know better than anybody. I'm still liking the VHPAF. It should have the tightest lowend based on their rating system. It's lowend is 6.5 using there rating system, but the Breed neck is 7.5, almost Super Distortion or TZ range.
