Dimarzio Gravity Storm

[Bloody_Inferno]

Oh hello there Mr Hodgson!

 

[Fred the Shred]

Unlike quite a few other DiMarzio offerings, I'm afraid I won't be demoing these for you guys. Could be mildly related to lack of string coverage.

 

[Jakke]

I would love to put one of these in a les paul-type of guitar..

 

[Prydogga]

Man that's a very Vai kind of tone there Pete. I'm definitely intrigued.

Good call - I might pop them in my Les Paul some time soon to see what happens.

 

[Freewheeler]

The neck pickup sounds really promising

 

[groverj3]

No idea how it will sound in a normal person's rig. Vai uses so many effects and such crazy gear that the sound us mortals get with theses pups is likely to be pretty different .

The name is definitely a win. I might buy them just for the name. It suits my scientist/nerd tendencies

REVIEW: DiMarzio Gravity Storm Steve Vai humbuckers | I Heart Guitar

Well Pete, you sealed the deal for me.

That's it. I'm ordering these today!

He doesn't use as many effects as you might think (especially post-1990), and a lot of the tones on the new album are pretty raw. I'm pretty mortal and I think I got a good sound out of them with just a Marshall.

Cool, happy shredding!

Bah I want to try them but Im content with the evo/liquifire in my JemDBK! Guess I need another guitar? =P

No, just another pickguard.

 

[SlaveUnit]

Hard to tell. Id love to get my hands on some in person.

 

[Valennic]

These are startlingly similar spec-wise to the Dominions they just released. I really need to give these a shot, since I love the shit out of my Dominions.

 

[Jzbass25]

Any comparison of the neck gravity storm vs the liquifire? Your description Petie sort of sounds like how I'd describe my liquifire.

Like I said, I love the hell out of my pups in my jem but I sort of want to try many things. I may actually buy a new pickguard like petie suggested with gravity storms and also I may try and Evo 2. Also anyone know a quick release system (like some sort of connector for the ground/output I can have to swap guards)

It's a little more grainy and organic compared to the LiquiFire, and doesn't have that "Loolooloolooloo" kind of vocal sound when you pick fast like the LiquiFire has.

 

[Rook]

I can see this bridge pickup in my strat...

 

[pushpull7]

So, I'm thinking about these on the new 721. If you ignore the clip in post 18 and listen to the one in 19, I'm thinking that is a closer representation of how the actual pickup sounds

They have 'em at MF. I wonder why these are so easily available that quickly and the "dominions" are much harder to find?

Hmm, such a tough decision. It sounds like it may be like the blaze neck which I also love.

 

[pushpull7]

I decided to get a set (kinda pricy though) for the 721.
