The Pickup Place / Re: DiMarzioForum Pickups FAQ
« Last post by gregr on March 10, 2024, 03:04:11 PM »
It’s a long thread which I haven’t read in its entirety, so apologies if this has been covered.

What does the U mean after the color code on the part number?

I’ve seen this on various Area single coils.
For example I have a pair of Area 58s. One says DP415W and the other DP415BKU. I have a VV54P that says DP408BK. There’s currently a VVHB2 on eBay with the number DP409AWU (aged white). Mine says DP409W. I also found an Area 61 with the number DP416WU.

Nice review.  Always wanted to try a Super Distortion and wondering what to put in the neck of my HH Ibanez, found the answer.

I could be wrong, but seem to recall that originally the PP was developed for Jazz/Rock guitarist Bill Connors. 

That is correct - that was mentioned in one of the 80s catalogues.

He had a brown sunburst single Hum Charvel strat, with a vintage style trem, and ebony finger board. He needed a pickup which could drive through a lot of processing, but still retain clarity and pure harmonics.

Buddy, seriouesly what he had done in the 1984 was awesome. I need to listen the whole album. Very impressive.

I haven't heard him and his relation with PP but i've been checking the videos you'd sent and he is hell of a player. Such a music.

I did a couple of down and dirty demos of the new DiMarzio PAF 57 set. All guitar sounds courtesy of a Fractal FM3 Plexi 50 6CA7 patch with Ownhammer OH MRBW+MRCB BR IR.

Hi,
I posted a fresh dimarzio review, but could be good action for forum :) It's about PAF Pro as a neck humbucker, a gem from Dimarzio. Hope you like it.
