Dimarzio Ionizer...there's your 8 string single

[TheOrangeChannel]

Dipped past the Dimarzio site and they updated the 8 page with Tosin's new Ionizer bridge, sc, and neck pups...interesting. Still no PAF8 on the site though... 8-String | DiMarzio

I should add whilst not a fanboy, these might a cool option for an RG8 purchase as I love HSH setups...

 

[Underworld]

Wow. That's cool to have more options!

 

[TheOrangeChannel]

I'm a fan of those bigger pole pieces on these, gravity storms, dominions etc. there's also a new 6 hb in there too...Steve Lukathe's Transition.

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

I love tosin's play style and all...but his tone is really shitty. If these make you sound like him...do not want.

A h-s-s would be awesome for a 8 string, i may skip getting a 7 string just to do that.

I was nagging Steve at NAMM about an 8-string single coil. I'm so glad these are out! Set coming my way, that's for sure!

 

[simonXsludge]

Damn, these come with sooo many color options! Even with rosewood bobbins. Now I need to convince DiMarzio to make me a D Activator 8 with those rosewood bobbins.

//EDIT: They updated the color options and they are now the exact same as for the DA8.

If someone is good with a router and can make a pickguard, anyone up for an H-S-S Ibanez RG8?

 

[glassmoon0fo]

These look like they have a similar EQ curve to the BKP Warpig, which was frontrunner for lace replacement in my Strandberg Boden. So yeah, I'll definately be picking these up this afternoon, will report back with findings soon!

EDIT: As soon as I find a place that actually sells them

I walked into work today and my fellow 8 string coworker mentioned DiMarzio put out these new pickups. Apparently they're the ones in Tosin's new LACS RG. Anyone heard anything about these? I'm still pretty sold on the 808x's but this sparked my interest as I'm more of a passive pickup person.

 

[MF_Kitten]

I care more about those humbuckers, someone has to make clips comparing them to the D Activators!

 

[Fred the Shred]

Patience, Kitten. Patience.

I'm sorry my face just collapsed and I shat myself.

What was that?

 

[obZenity]

They're a passive bridge, mid position single, and neck 8 string pick up model. Apparently its what Tosin has in that RG he just got.

Oh shit they're on the website!

The PAFs aren't even up!!!

Fuck me, I'm getting an HSH 8 finally, I'm gunna UV the shit out of an unsuspecting 2228

Bridge just looks like a less trebly DA8 with a tiny bit less output :/

Interestingly it mentions Tosin by name in the blurb, I wonder if Misha's 'I've been talking to Steve Blucher about a pickup' will ever come to anything? He seems to be all BKP for now.

ROSEWOOD bobbins on DA8's?

DO WANT.

Will do, have DA8s in my Rico, and these fit exactly what I was looking for in the lighter, brighter Boden 8. Now, where the hell can I get some!

Other way around - the Ionizer options were reduced to the ones already available for the DA8. No rosewood for you. (Maybe custom shop?)

Yeah just from looking at the specs its very similar to the DA8 so it must be Tosin's take/modifications on them.

You talking about the custom dimarzio set he has in his Rico?
