Hey y'all!
So I have an unopened set of Dimarzio D-activators (regular, non-X)... I'm debating whether to open this set and install on my ibanez prestige or get something else.
In general, I like super high output pickups. I loved the EMGs 81/61 on my ESP, the fishman moderns on my ibz prestige... so I'd imagine the D-Activators should be a safe bet?
My current mood is to play 80's thrash (basically megadeth and metallica) and 80's hair metal (ratt, skid row)
I could sell this sealed set and get something else... or just tear the package open and try it out...
Other options I considered:
- Seymour Black Winters
- Dimarzio D-Activator X
- other passive "active-like" pickups
thoughts?
(I'm not too excited to try out bare knuckles because their price got out of hand ... at least to me)
I'll use standard tuning with 9's or 10's. Basswood body
