DividedByJames Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 Yeah...some of you will hate me. Others will envy. Others won't read this thread. Here. But I have a few potential candidates for it: An alder sunburst StewMac tele (soon to be routed for humbucker) or my black Schecter C-1 ELite (mahogany). Whichever doesn't get the Dime gets the JB. I'll let you know which I think is better suited for it...and if I don't like it no matter how much I respect Dime, I'll post it here for sale before I try ebay for the same amount ($40 + s/h). SO being that everyone's talked about it...what have you heard in terms of tone? The Duncan site doesn't have squat for tone charts or sound description. Quote
westhemann Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 very unique sound.decide for yourself....i like it Quote
Jehle Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 From what I recall it's similar to the Dimarzio X2N which I have. I really like the X2N, but it's taken me some time to tweak it with the other pickups to ballance it. Quote
Speedy McFeely Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 heck yeahm the x2n is a pain to balance, thats why i got rid of mine. i wish i would have gotten a single hb routed body to try it out in though. i am dying to try the dimebucker, it's not too often wes gives props to non EMGs!!! i have heard the dime sounds great in mahogony. it balances out the sceaming high allitle, but leaves the thump. they have reviews on harmonycentral.

MikeB Posted December 20, 2003 Report Posted December 20, 2003 i think this is quite a good pickup, i was gonna put it in my lp kit to give it a bit of a kick up the ass, but i settled for a treble booster, and am gonna put a pre-amp in it mike Quote
Scott Rosenberger Posted December 20, 2003 Report Posted December 20, 2003 I call Dibs on it if he decides to sell it Quote
