Behold!!! Muhuhuhuhahahahahaha!!!!
Just installed this bad boy and spent about an hour plowing through various metal/rock riffs with this. I like it! I've never actually played with one of these before. i really dig it. It gets the late Dimebag tone to a T of course. Other than that, It reminds me of a big Hot Rail with more output and slightly less mids with bigger bass and slightly more treble bite. Loud, tight, defined and gainy is what this pickup does. It reacts very well to changes on the volume knob and pick attack; it's a very dynamic pickup, and I expected it to be more compressed than it is. Very cool. It sounds OK split, and I don't know what it sounds like in parallel yet because I must've made a bad joint wiring it to the mini-toggle and now it's a kill switch in that position.
I'll fix it later.
I kind of uncovered a suprise/secret weapon/sleeper hit tone with this pickup, too. I found that if I put the volume and tone both back to about 5 and dialed up a clean tone with some compression on it, it made for a great chicken pickin'/country western tone with plenty of bounce and pluck. The midrange turned out to be just right for that sort of thing, and it's real fun to just drop the pick and go at it like that. Metal tones with a Southern accent... just like Dimebag!
I liked the D-Sonic I had in there and this pickup does a great job for this guitar as well, but the reason I'm keeping the Dimebucker is because it's so much more FUN to play. The tone is inspiring to me for some reason. It's fun to play and riff on and just enjoy the sound of. And that's always the mark of a keeper!
P.S. Anyone want a used D-Sonic (F-Spaced, white)?
