<p>Dime&rsquo;s bridge pickup delivers crunchy pick attack, scooped mids and just the right amount of saturation. He wanted his signature humbucker to have a thick crunch that sags just a little when you really lay into it. Combine that with a full, tight low-end response, a ceramic magnet and dual stainless steel blades, and you have the Dimebucker.</p> <p>Dime preferred the warm, smooth power of a &rsquo;59 bridge pickup in the neck position to balance with his signature bridge Dimebag pickup. It gave extra teeth to his solos. In a 2004 interview, Dimebag described the tone of the Dimebucker; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s very saturated, not to the point where it's overly fuzzy but it has a smooth and crunchy distortion tone. It will give you some extra gain, but it won&rsquo;t go so far that your sound breaks up and is going crazy. You get that warm tone with the distortion mixed in and it has the low end that&rsquo;s kicking you in the butt while the top end is cutting your face off in the right way, but not ripping your face off. If you ever listen to a Pantera record, that&rsquo;s what you&rsquo;ll hear through this pickup.&rdquo;</p> <p>The complete set is hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA. The bridge Dimebucker uses a ceramic bar magnet, dual stainless steel blades, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. The 59 Bridge is vintage-inspired, right down to the cloth braid hookup wires. Also wax potted.</p> <ul> <li>Neck: 1611101-01Z SH-1N '59 Neck HB - Zebra</li> <li>Bridge: 1611102-82B SH-13 Dimebucker - Black</li> </ul>
