DiMarzio Neck Pickup Shootout! Air Norton vs Liquifire - Bryan Does Gear 6
What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Fortitude
“The midrange is shifted more to the lower mids for a throatier vibe and more of a growl.”
“The lows will punch you in the chest, pick you up, and knock you back down again.”
On the DiMarzio LiquiFire
“I believe the DiMarzio Liquifire is a slightly altered Air Norton with less high end, but also leaner lows.”
Comparing with DiMarzio Air Norton
“All in all, the LiquiFire has more body, more tone, more soul and perfect articulation without having any harsh or ice-picky tendencies..”
