So I'm thinking of getting a D Activator Neck and putting it in the bridge position of my PRS Mike Mushok which is tuned down to Drop F, cos from previous posts have seen that the D Activator Neck is really good as a bridge pickup for low tunings.
If I do that, what is a good pickup to pair...
I have a Squier Stagemaster 7 which I wanna replace the stock bridge pickup.
I have narrowed it down to either a new DiMarzio D Activator or a used Bare Knuckles Juggernaut.
Which one do you recommend?
It's mainly going to be for heavy distorted gain tones, but might use it occasionally for...
I'm looking at replacing the stock bridge pickup on my Fender Stagemaster 7. These are the options I'm looking at
DiMarzio D Activator 7 - which I can get new from Amazon

Hi i have an Ibanez sa2020fm (mahogany with maple top) and i want to get rid of the emg 81/85 that are currently on it. I am thinking of going d-activator for both bridge and neck but i am not so sure about the neck. I mostly play modern metal stuff but i enjoy playing classics like Iron Maiden...

Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: Bridge is Duncan Custom and neck is a Jazz. Both are in great working condition with plenty of lead, but I'm a Dimarzio guy, and I'm looking to move to an H/S configuration. I dig Evos, D Activators and Illuminators, and I'm not as specific for a neck...
Hey guys,
Haven't been here in a while, but spent a bit of time on the site while researching my newest acquisitions. Noticed there aren't many recent reviews of the Hadron, so I thought I'd share my impressions in case someone like me comes looking in the future.
Bought my Hadron two weeks...
If you have read any of the guitar center threads on this site you may have heard me mention this guitar before.
I present to you a busted ass 25th Anniversary Ibby. Long story short, this guitar has been sitting in the shop since they came out (see pics). I told them to take off more money...
I want to replace the bridge pickup in my PRS se custom 24 7 string because it sounds kinda muddy and overly bassy and I was thinking of either the D Activator or Ionizer. I want to have good output and really tight lows so I can play stuff like Dream Theater, Scale the Summit, Tesseract, and...

Hello good fellas!
I'm about to graduate from 7 to 8 strings and can't decide between Tosins budget signature model, the S5528lw and the RG852.
I've neither tried any of those guitars, because they're not in stock here in Vienna so i have to order one and i really need some opinions of some...
Selling this one for a good friend of mine. The guitar looks and plays wonderfully, but he hasn't found himself making use of all that range. Looking to sell or trade for quality 7 string of equivalent value. Guitar comes from the most smoke free home imaginable.

Hey all, new guy to these boards. Seems like a great place to hang out.
I'm on a weird journey with my Parker nitefly m. The stock pickups weren't my thing. Swapped them out a couple of years back for a lower output set. I recently decided I'd like to play it more and that it's going to get...
I know several of you guys on here have the Ibanez RGD2127z and I'm sure a few of you have replaced the stock pick ups with dimarzio's. I have a d activator 7 and a liquifire 7 sitting here ready to be dropped into my rgd but I simply can not find a wiring diagram. If anyone of you guys out...

So.. been thinking about getting new p'ups for my xpt700 for a while now. The decisions coming down to
A.) sticking with the D-activators
B.) EMG 81/85s
C.) SD Blackouts.
I was dead set on the emg's for a little while, but now I'm reconsidering because for one thing i want to still have a...
Hey guys,
I recorded some more riffs for the song I had half written the last time I posted some recordings, and for a bit of fun I covered an easy metallica song - for whom the bell tolls. There aren't any vocals on it yet but there will be soon, and I've got to make some of the drum parts...
i´m really intrigued by the Dimarzio D Activators for my 7 string... they tickle my pickle if you will...
i had actually decided to go for the Blaze neck in the bridge position, but the D Activator 7 Bridge just might change that...
the reason i´m asking is that they seem like THE perfect...
