Everything you wanted to know about .... / Re: Gravity Storm Review
« on: January 16, 2013, 12:55:25 AM »Very informative review, thanks Budd. Since you know how the Breed bridge sounds and can compare it to the Gravity Storm bridge, i have 2 questions.
1) The Breed has a good attack in the mids, not super punchy, but good. Is the GS softer in the mids attack, like other Airbuckers? (according to DiMarzio's specs, it is an Airbucker)
2) Do the high notes scream less than the Breed? I have heard many Airbuckers that sound tired & lifeless in the high registers, and don't like that at all.
The Gravity Storm does seem to have a softer attack. It's not as aggressive as the Evolution of Evo2 I find. Granted it's about as soft as getting punched with punching gloves. It still hits hard just less of the edge. As for the scream, it's not as lifeless and tired as some of the air buckers. The Gravity Storm is unique when it comes to playing high up the neck. The fatness the pickup has really prevents the tone from sounding thin and lifeless. The scream on the Gravity Storm is more like the big guy at a football game during a scoring goal than a teenage girl at a some boyband concert. It definitely has some solid power behind it.
