Who's Frank?

It's a character from 'It's always sunny in Philadelphia'. Danny DeVitos best role ever.

I live not too far from a music shop that has had a fairly close connection to Satriani - loaning amps, doing repairs or anything needed while he is in the area, etc.

I never forgot what the shop owner said - they were working on one of his guitars or something and were shooting the shit and the guy noticed his pickups were NOT Dimarzios....

He said, "Joe, these are Duncan's, I thought you always played your Dimarzios??"

The response was a finger pressed to the lips and a "shhhhhh".

This was quite some years back and who knows if the guy just made it up but idk why he would.

Advertisement reasons I figure.... Same as Paul Gilbert and how he can't be seen playing anything else other than an Ibanez or something

I can deal with EMGs, Duncans, and Bare Knuckle. I can't deal with Dimarzio. The top end is simply missing on most of them.

A variation of a Duncan is usually my go to or what I would probably recommend for most high gain applications. Consistency and $, for the most part.
That said; my personal favorite pickups (as in found the best bridge pickup for the guitar, ymmv) are PRS \m/, Duncan Nazgul, Railhammer Chisel, Burstbucker 2/3, Classic 57. The young me would have been all over 500T, Super Distortions, and Invaders. I would probably still leave those in a guitar that came with them if they were paired properly, but wouldn't seek them out.

Yeah Burstbuckers 2/3 are my fave too..... They are fantastic


Gibson 500T are amazing too and a treat, totally for a younger me. Younger me wouldnt have liked Burstbucker 2/3


Gibson USA buckers aren't bad and the new Kramer USA are amazing. More people should try and I bet you'd like them too I figure since Gibson makes them too and they are Jim DeCola design.


Agree on Super Distortions too. Need to give a Duncan Nazgul and Railhammer Chisel a try sometime.

I found Dimarzios to be pretty bright in the highs but they smooth out when you run them into a cranked amp unlike the Seths. I even have a Dimarzio cable that is def oriented towards a more trebly bite on top. *shrugs

 

[The~Kid]

Why?

Because Burstbucker 2/3 are the shit *_*

Why would you respond to a fallen member? You know that is what I was asking

They aren't bad to be honest and a lot of guys use and like them for good reason. Just grew up mainly using Duncans.

You were doing so good, too..

I know that you are borderline fucking retarded, and perhaps I am being generous with the borderline modifier, but when members unintentionally respond to a fallen member, it is ok. They don't realize. When you do it knowingly it is fucking weird.

With you and your history with Lisa, it is disrespectful and I don't want to hear about how she was your sister or whatever bullshit you want to spew.

Just leave her and her memory alone.

I don't want to hear your BS either so we have that in common.......

 

[Deleted member 101920]

God, that is just beyond weird..

 

[SFW]

DiMarzio have a certain mid-range thing going on. You either love it or hate it. Between the two, I usually prefer Duncans. I feel like I hear more of the guitar with Duncan and less of the pickup. That said, I'll use whatever I think works best for a particular guitar. These days I tend to refer some of the smaller winders.

 

[Zado]

To me DiMarzios are just made for bright, or at least quite articulate instruments. Put most of em in a guitar with fat low end, or smooth in the upper mid-range, and you hear there's something wrong. Duncans shine on most guitars.

 

[cardinal]

The seth lovers are really close to a lot of vintage gibson pickups i've played, so you'd probaby hate those too - I don't like either.

Unpotted pickups make me roll my eyes lol

My Navigators still have Seth Lovers and they squeal like pigs with gain and volume. I dunno how anyone handles it. Need to get those out, but the wiring is so immaculate it seems criminal for me to hack it up.

Agreed and that was weird and creepy af.
Kid, seriously, WTF is wrong with you?
