HatsubaiAggressive neck pickup
Published on 03/23/11 at 16:25The Evolution Neck pickup was a humucker created for Steve Vai and his Ibanez Jem guitars. The pickup is aimed towards being a medium to high output, clear and punchy PAF. To be honest, this is somewhat of an evolution (get it :D ) of the PAF Pro. Like nearly all DiMarzio pickups, this comes standard with four conductor wiring, allen head bolts on both coils and a ceramic magnet. The ceramic magnet is part of this pickup’s secret. I’ll get to that later.
The DiMarzio Evolution Neck is aimed towards the player that wants a clear, powerful and harmonically rich neck pickup. If you’re a sloppy player, this pickup will definitely show. Note clarity is big thing with this pickup. ...…

The DiMarzio Evolution Neck is aimed towards the player that wants a clear, powerful and harmonically rich neck pickup. If you’re a sloppy player, this pickup will definitely show. Note clarity is big thing with this pickup. However, it’s also compressed a bit more than most normal PAFs out there. Imagine taking the PAF Pro, evening it out a little bit and making it more powerful with more mids.
Steve Vai and DiMarzio recommend this pickup for guitars with alder bodies. I can’t say I agree as this can get pretty bright. The neck version isn’t as bright as the bridge version is, but it’s still up there. Those with more neutral to darker tone woods like basswood and mahogany will probably prefer this pickup a little more. It all depends on the kind of tone you’re going for. If you’re looking for an open pickup, this probably won’t be the pickup you’re looking for. However, those that want a searing, punchy and harmonically rich sound will love this. I actually recommend the Evo 2 to go with this in the bridge rather than the Evolution Bridge. The Evo 2 tends to be a better match for most people. Other good pickups to pair up with this are the ToneZone, Super Distortion, Breed Bridge, Steve’s Special and so on.

It is a micro bt a unique nan ... nan no kidding!
a lot of bass and treble very few mediums sound is very cool and super smooth even with BECP of distortion as is the dp159 dp158 but this one is characterized by a softness (surprising as it may sound as cool) .
I have a speedmaster lag evo mounts in the dp159 gives a dose of aggresivit incredible rhythm and a gentle dp158 phenomenal solos for endless happiness ... What!
it is a bit expensive on c (145 euros) but good c a choice I would do without hesitation views of the satisfaction it provides.

APRS two weeks of tests on my Jackson Pro, couple with a small ERRF the DP159 (Bridge Version) keeps the micro m'tonner.
It possde trs a good tonal balance and offers an important level of output, although the version dea 'bridge'.
There are a softness and singing, less aggressive than the DP159 with an ease dconcertante still bring out the harmonics. (Technology Cramique and not Al Ni Co)
It is a pleasure and especially the mandatory version complment 'Brdige' too aggressive according jous pieces. Obviously recommended for rhythm, but also for singing solos fawn 'For the love of god - Steve Vai' For example ...

Hi,
I begin: This mic is sublime!
I was a bit tired of that sound rough neck microphone, with too low ... Dimarzio I recommend this mic has provided you have a microwave bridge strong enough to go with. And I'm not disappointed !!!!!!!
This microphone is accurate, fairly warm, and with a gentle solo! It's amazing how it adds punch to the neck position. In rytmique as it provides solid.
I would do it without hesitating one second choice.
