Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??
As much as I hate upcharges for stuff. Im sure they are trying to keep the "signature" pickups signature and selling them as the artist designed, (or at least promotes). Do they do this with their other pickups that have the etched covers and such? Or are they optional on those?
They are cool looking, but not worth the up charge to me.

I’m not 100% positive but I think there are a couple of other pickups with covers that get sold that way too. Of course I can’t remember the names of them

The Sonic Ecstasy and the Dark Matter 2. Also only available in F-spacing.

Yep, DiMarzio's "take it or leave it" series...
This is as bad as what Duncan tried to pull with the Gus G Signature pickups. Remember those? Arguably Duncan's best sounding actives (in my opinion), but who wants that gawdy logo all over the top?

Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??
I just wonder what they sound like. I'm betting a D'act with more bass and mids, and less treble. Dimarzio did tell me they had more balanced mids.

Didn't realize they were that expensive. That gets into Custom Shop land.
Exactly, especially when spending $140 for a single pickup!

I like Nita too. In one video I remember she used too much reverb with delay through a Blackstar rig but that's not always the case though. As for her pickups, I dig the way they look with the covers and think they'd look and sound good in my RG2570 finished in Vital Silver
Unfortunately they (and the Velorum, Dark Matter, Sonic X) are quite pricey because of those fancy/cool covers. Think I'll send DiMarzio an email requesting exposed bobbins as well.

Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??
I actually like Gus G's logo on the pickups and think they have that cool signature look to them but it's not for everyone. In a silver guitar they would look the part. I just happen to have said silver guitar
As for their tone, yes! They sound so damn good! Wonder if I'd like them more than my Mustaine LW signatures and I like those a lot...

Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??
Like I posted earlier.
People who actually want those covers would be fine paying $149-$159. (it's a small group, but the covers are cool and intricate if they're "your thing")
People who want that sig pickup in plain black open-coil would do $99.
IMO they would make more total profit for themselves and the artist if they would offer the artist models both ways at these specific price-points.

I emailed them a couple of months ago about that. They told me they only come one way....

Ah well. I suppose that may change somewhere down the line if/when sales start declining but hey, if I had the extra cash to spend I wouldn't mind a paying for the set as it is now.
