What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio The Tone Zone S
“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.”
Comparing with DiMarzio Pro Track
“For me, Tone Zone S is too muddy, boomy, bass-heavy.”
On the Seymour Duncan Li'l Screamin' Demon (SLSD-1)
“I'd go with the Lil Screamin Demon as it will still be fat/thick enough for the styles you listed, but it'll mix with your neck and mid pickups better than the JB Jr.”
