Dimarzio Pups?

[Hutzbordello]

These look good for the price, less expensive than emg and hoping that they are a good bang for the buck

I dont like DiMArzios too much. i owned a pair. theyre punchy but lacks some clarity/balance. works fine for hard rock and heavy i guess.

The 126's made a nice upgrade over the stock pups on my Ibby GSR200.

I have two basses outfitted with Dimarzios, and love them both. The Model P is one of my favorite P pickups that I've tried.

EDIT: Also, the Model P has been a pretty standard upgrade to the Precision bass since the 70s, so some people obviously seem to like it.

Dimarzio are great choice imo. darker then most, higher output then regular fender type, very articulate. The P pups capable of excellent thud while still giving plenty of top end grind. Not as crunchy and growly as emg's but that can be up for by useing body wood that more accents growl and crunch like basswood, agathis, and of course ebubinga and ovangkol. With other woods like mahogany its a less aggressive version of growl and crunch. But diff no mud or brittleness/harshness like some P&J's give.

May be less expensive, but you're not comparing apples to apples.
