SUB1 - noob questions

[urbansoban]

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a secondhand black 2 humbucker SUB1 guitar with tremolo. Trouble is, the guy forgot to send me the trem arm. Since it was over eBay, I might never hear from him again, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows where to get a replacement whammy bar? Anything else that fits?

Another question: not that I don't like the sound of the guitar, which I do, but I've been toying with the idea of replacing the bridge PUP with a DiMarzio D Sonic. Has anyone else done it? How do they compare? Do I need an F-spaced version? And what does this mean: (Quote) The D Sonic™ is more than just a one-sound pickup, too. In addition to the standard series humbucking sound, DiMarzio's patented design utilizes 4-conductor wiring to access two different single-coil sounds plus parallel humbucking mode, for three additional sounds that are distinctive and versatile. (End Quote). How does one access single-coil sounds?

Ok, that's it for now. Thanks for your help. Stay cool!

Call customer support. They should be able to hook you up with your questions.

Your local EBMM dealer should be able to get a trem arm or you could contact customer service directly and they can get you one.

To access the single coil split with a new pick-up you'd have to install some type of coil tap/switching mechanism (mini-toggle, push pull pot, re-wiring the existing toggle, etc.) Can't help you out on the tone issue, but good luck.
