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 Mo' Joe
“Mo Joe is a Fred but a little hotter, more aggressive, and has slightly less highs.”
“It has an aggressive presence but somehow it's smooth and not too bright just like the Mo Joe, except without the lower midrange quality the Mo Joe has..”
