DIMARZIO D ACTIVATORS

man let me say that I definitly made the right choice by going with this pickup. This pickup blows alot of others out the water. It suppose to be like an active pickup but with out that shitty compressed sound. and let me tell you that they are fucking hot ass hell. I had read some reviews saying that this pickup didnt have very good harmonics. well that is false because the harmonics jump out of the guitar. I love adding pinch harmonics where ever i can and this pick up does just that for me. I recommend any ono wanting a death/black/thrash guitar this pickup is it.

I might actually put one in my RR3, but I really love the JB it has.

Congrats!

BTW, I think its funny that this post is now right under the thread that says "DONT POST ABOUT TABS, PICKUPS, OR AMPS HERE!"

Cool, I'm really thinking about picking one up for the bridge position in 1 of my guitars that just has a paf pro in the bridge, moving it up to the neck.

Do you know what the EQ curve is on the pickup and how much output it has in mV?

They are in my guitar in the video thread.

Sound great next to me through the amp, but to much for the feeble camera.

You get the idea..
