mealz1281734035 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Torn between two setups for my les paul: SD JB bridge with SD jazz neck or Dimarzio Tone Zone bridge with Dimarzio PAF pro neck What kind of sound would each of these setups give?? Which would you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgifntx Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 mealz- ...Either way you went would be a good setup. It's a tricky endevour and a real personal choice. You could punch up the combinations on utube, And not knowing what other FX/Amp are involved unless they're shootin' straight about it, Get a pretty good idea. Or go directly to Dimarzio and Duncan sites to see what they're showing vid wise. I went with the d' activators, Basically because that's what I personally was looking for ya know. Just some food for thought... I thought I was looking at dropping in some Gibson 490r and 498t pups in an little ol' SG I picked up. Read a ton of reviews pro and quite a few con. Read where the two were a match made in heaven... Then I ran on some reviews that state the 490r is a weak link and as well the 498t was too hot. Now I'm wondering what direction to go... I guess the moral to the story is, You be your own judge ya know. We all have opinion holez... Good luck tho and you're sure on the right track.

Muskank Sally Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Torn between two setups for my les paul: SD JB bridge with SD jazz neck or Dimarzio Tone Zone bridge with Dimarzio PAF pro neck What kind of sound would each of these setups give?? Which would you prefer? Dimarzio Tone Zone bridge with Dimarzio PAF pro neck Nice thick meaty tone! Does great slabs of wood justice. The Tone Zone definitely kicks in where pickups like the Super Distortion lack in bottom end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ef_in_fla Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I used to swear by SD's but now I lean more toward Dimarzios. They're both quite good and worthy upgrades for most guitars. I recently got a MusicMan with a D-Sonic and wow what a pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
