Di Marzio Sixties DP124 vs Fender MIM Stock Precision Bass Pickups

[@jkf9167]

I like the DiMarzios. They sound great. Just a bit more body than stock, but they still have that P-Bass thunder when you hit the low E, unlike a lot of overwound P pickups.

[@enriquekikzdelapazbichain1126]

well the Dimarzios sound almost like an active P! They´re amazing!

[@garfield5360]

the di marzio's seem a bit close, do you think thats gonna effect fast playing?

[@richp67]

Great comparison, thank you!!!

[@MG-vo7is]

Wow! The DiMarzios sound great.

[@sfmag1]

Originals sound clearer and brighter to me.

[@LightningProd13]

Having a suuuuper hard time debating in my head between the Sixties P and the Steve Harris SDs... Both are just so good

[@1thess523]

I like the brightness of the Fender, the Dimarzio are a little more beefy but still sound pretty good, I never thought of metal covers for bass pick ups before.

[@jimbobass8419]

2:53 is a song? Or a improvised lick? The DiMarzio sound incredible powerful

[@OliverTobyn]

The song is Seemann by Rammstein

[@Doodlebug1996]

And the winner ? The Tech 21 VT DI. What a fantastic preamp !

[@markkeeler584]

Dimarzio all the way, great playing btw love the clash riff.👍♥️🎸👍

[@andrewkolbe3437]

Great review! Did the pole pieces on the DiMarzio catch on your fingers when you played finger style? They look pretty smooth

[@OliverTobyn]

Thanks! No, it's a pretty comfortable pickup to play with!

[@robertobernardogonzalez2812]

which do you like more dp122 or dp124?

[@Dinozzo1995]

I totally prefer the stock pickups, they seem to have a lot more clarity in the top end, sound more piano like.

[@michelebass8357]

Canzone dell'arpeggio??

[@OliverTobyn]

Rammstein - Seeman

@@OliverTobyn grazie!!!

[@lynnpalmer8133]

Sound to me like you are running tone 100% on all these? I was hoping to hear them with it at 0% as well. Thanks!

[@OliverTobyn]

I tend not to use the tone control on these comparisons because it really depends on what capacitor and other electronics the instrument has, so it may not be an objective and universal result

[@enriquekikzdelapazbichain1126]

why? people really use the tone knob?

[@jcburn1973]

I like the difference - the Dimarzio uotput seems very close, but maybe has a little mor low end and maybe a little more in the 800 hz mid range? Treble response seems similar. Nice demo man.

[@johnnywomack548]

It looks like you installed a replacement bridge on your bass. What brand is it?

[@OliverTobyn]

It's a Hipshot Kickass bridge

[@jospower8802]

E complimenti per la scelta di magnificent seven! ;-)

[@basscorner3740]

Oliver, sto prendendomi un Precision Alusonic..... ,i chiedevo: tu cosa preferisci per fare IRON MAIDEN: questo DiMarzio DP124, il Seymour Duncan SPB-4, oppure il Relentless?

[@OliverTobyn]

Penso che con gli SPB-4 vai sul sicuro. Relentless no, troppo lontano dal suono di Harris, coi Di Marzio DP124 forse un po' riusciresti anche, ma comunque consiglierei i Seymour Duncan

[@basscorner3740]

@@OliverTobyn Grazie mille!!!! Hai pagina FB?

[@Frankinsteinguitar]

Significant difference!

[@jjellen5804]

Did you switch the pots?

[@OliverTobyn]

No, they are the same in both cases. 250k volume, and Fender TBX for tone all the way up

[@mark.o.7125]

Mi aguela? Nice pickups

[@alvarovallejos8465]

I'm shocked how dark the Dimarzio is compared to the MIM, in another review vs MIJ it was the opposite. How would you compare the Sixties vs the SPB-4?

[@OliverTobyn]

Could it be that it was wired in parallel? In this one, I wired it in series, as all split P pickups are. That would be a pretty interesting comparison. The 60s probably have more "beef" and a nice fat sound, whereas the SPB4 has more upper-midrange than lower, but they're both pretty similar

[@alvarovallejos8465]

@@OliverTobyn Thanks I have the SPB-4 and was looking for something more barky thinking the 60s was the ticket. I want something that crackles (not more low mids), the 60s top end was too smooth.

[@bDoom88]

Video nuovoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@megamrsoftee]

I wonder what they sound like when not strummed with a pick or a fingernail... But we may never know. Thanks all the same for making the video.

[@duotonguitars]

I need just those gold covers. The pickup itself sounds totally dead, unfortunately...

[@paulnicolosi4792]

Ive always hated those dimarzio bass pickups. Back in the 70s they were overwound and very dull sounding. They made most amps distort, as I recall

[@sherwoodsmallidge9186]

Def not dull at all lol

[@totomoyap8648]

Dimarzio sound compress and unbalance EA Vs DG tonal compare to stock pup. But I think this character will work on slapping.
