What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Dominion
“I kind of liken the Dominion bridge to a Tone Zone without the boomy bass response, and a little bit quicker and direct.”
“The Dominion has a tighter low end and more of a low mid push compared to the Super D, it is still more than capable for the classic rock thing.”
On the DiMarzio Evolution
“On the other hand the Evolution is brighter and extremely tight.”
“The evolution is definitely one tight pickup, which has a strange reputation on here for being bright from people who have never actually used it.”
