lot of lows even more highs. the dimebucker is a very bright pup. as long as you dont have a really bright amp it should be fine though

In the Dime guitars, it's rounder, fatter, and tubbier due to the different woods and probably the greater mass as well. I had one in my Silhouette for a spell and while it was only a hair less fat and less round... it seemed a little tighter in the lows and the highs had a little more snarl. Still sounded awesome, and I wasn't wanting for more chunk at all. Great pickup.

What is the major diff between the dime and L500XL?

Dime = Ceramic mag, hotter

L500L/XL = Alnico 5, hand wound (Bill & Becky that is)

In my Alder Strat, the Dime sounded like a high powered singlecoil. And was too mid scooped for my liking.

Would 300k pots and dialing down the treble on your amp or EQ's be a simple fix for excessive brightness?
