The Pickup Place / Re: Dimarzio LiquiFire Review
« Last post by nienturi on May 04, 2024, 01:49:43 AM »I know it's designed for the neck position, but it might be an interesting bridge pickup if you want a bit more power than the 36th bridge without the typically more congested lower mids of many higher output pickups, and you find the PAF Pro too bright in the bridge position. Maybe the regular Norton fills that niche, though?
After i see the results from the Air Norton in the bridge, yes, LF has great potential for the bridge. I'll definetely try someday.

Everything you wanted to know about .... / Re: Area 58, 61 and 67 Strat Pickups
« Last post by gregr on May 02, 2024, 04:04:59 PM »I’d like not to have to make additional corrective adjustments while playing. In fact, I use series and parallel resistors to ensure I can make use of the entire sweep of a control when necessary.
I find that shunting the dummy coil in order to coax additional brightness out of an Area pickup sounds better than unloading it. If I want extra brightness on tap I’ll dial it at the amp rather than have the pickup sound uneven.

And I agree it is guitar dependent.

I like it on warmer guitars. But on brighter guitars, i don't prefer.
