DiMarzio DP 155FBK The Tone Zon B-Stock

This passive pickup stands out thankst to its powerful yet balanced output level, paired with impressive dynamics that enable the player to precisely control the output volume and, by extension, the degree of saturation to which the amplifier is pushed. In its intended bridge position, this humbucker delivers the clarity and attack needed for tight rhythm work while still offering a full-bodied tone for single-note playing, even in the upper registers, where the AlNiCo-5 magnets help avoid any harshness. Thanks to the aforementioned four-conductor wiring, the pickup also puts a range of flexible configurations at the player's fingertips, including a convincing single-coil mode by splitting individual coils.
