Arise, thread!!
I finally moved the CL so that the bar is now facing the neck instead of the bridge, the way it comes on the JP6's.
It pretty much does what DiMarzio says it does that way... it's louder and fatter that way. The mids get bumped up a bit but interestingly enough not in a way that's annoying, it's just fatter and it seems to "speak" a bit more, so to speak. It's also more resonant this way. Palm mutes on low chords through a loud amp results in a woofy thump that you can feel in your chest. It's just as tight - perhaps even a little tighter - this way as well. The response is somewhat faster this way as well, that probably adds to how tight it feels. Not very much louder, but just enough to notice it. Super ballsy.
The only way I can describe it is that with the bar towards the bridge, it's more of a sharper-edged, more cutting snarling tone, whereas the bar forward yields more of a full roar. Two sides of the same killer coin. Both tones are excellent, and work wonderfully with how my Tremoverb is voiced.
Excellent pickup, all around. One of DiMarzio's best, I feel.
