What players and reviewers say

On the Bare Knuckle Ragnarok

The combination of a substantial low end, strong mids and controlled highs gives the pickup enough personality to remain interesting as the gain comes down.

The ceramic magnets, substantial output, focused low end, aggressive midrange, and controlled high end give it the characteristics needed for modern progressive metal and other demanding high-gain applications.

On the DiMarzio Dominion

The low end is big and punchy, while retaining control and articulation to keep things tight without getting too stiff.
Darth Phineas · Nov 10, 2021Darth Phineas (opens in a new tab)
You get highs that are big and present with edge to spare, so that you can get your squeals and bite without being an ice pick.
