What players and reviewers say

On the DiMarzio Pro Track

“I prefer the FS2 for its midrange and clarity, but I also like the Tone Zone S more for the bridge and the Pro Track for the middle and neck to be honest.”

“There is a dimarzio pro track in the neck which seems to work well, it will stay as it marries the quack with the humbucker fullness when I roll back the tone knob..”

On the Seymour Duncan JB Jr. (SJBJ-1)

“The JB Jr sounds like it has great crunch on the bass, good mids but way too ice-picky treble.”

“The JB Jr sounded bright, almost glassy and the mids seemed, well nasal, if that makes any sense!”
