Embrace death (3)

The Deathbucker went into my BC Rich Gunslinger.

Master Beez gave it a thumbs up as well. We were taken aback by the cleans, definitely.

Summary of the Deathbucker performance:
  • high output pickup, absolutely impressive with lots of distortion
  • manufacturer says, it sounds like an active- yes, that's audible & present
  • how about the cleans? As this is a passive pickup, the cleans are above-average. Has an impressive performance in split mode, true to the manufacturer's claim as well, it's quiet even with distortion dialed in
  • cleans to die for- as in, will it rival a PAF-type pickup? No but the cleans here is really something considering it's a high output unit
The Lace Deathbucker is available at TYMC, yours for $125 :-)
