Re: dimbucker?x2n?

Some like the Dime but, I think it sounds like a mix between a pissed off weedeater and a buzzsaw! Personally, I think the X2N is much more agreeable IMO!!!! It has tons of output and I didnt find any one part of the EQ to be boosted. I would say its balanced and its like everything is boosted!!!

Every time somebody brings up the X2N i wish I had one. Thanks a lot GUYS.

But yeah, i've never heard a Dimebucker sound good. You have to have MIDS in your sound or your sound will be mushy crap, kinda like Dimebag's.

I went through a short phase of really digging the dimebucker, but came around pretty quick. I also prefer the X2N, but it's not my favorite, either.

Sounds like I will cross the dime off my list.

Re: dimbucker?x2n?

lol thanks for the input , looks like it will be the x2n for the bridge, but any suggestions for a good match up for the neck. maybe something a little cooler with nice clean sound?

Well, if you're gonna keep with DiMarzio, then an Air Norton would really open up different tones in the neck. Otherwise, a PAF Pro might be good.
