Re: Dimarzio YJM vs Bareknuckle Trilogy Suite
mmmm its a hard one to say ..... the dimarzio yjm is very low output and for the malmsteen thing you really need an overdriven amp with a overdrive pedal to boost it and maybe a noise gate ... if you used it with a humbucker in the bridge it might not balance very well ,,, i have the malmsteen sig guitar and i would have to set my amps and fx specialy for that guitar ...... but set up right it will give you that sound .... i have not tried the trilogy but have read up on it ,,, bkn are very good so the quality is there ,,,, i own some of the pickups from them ,,,, the trilogy is a very high output pickup that would balance well if you used a humbucker in the bridge and would need less effort to get an amp to overdrive ,,, the down side is , like somebody has mentioned is its a tue single coil so you might get more hum through the amp , you could still use a noise gate mind .... i have a blackmore strat that has duncan quarter pounders in it ( that could be another option ) and find it sounds very very good infact it sounds more like malmsteen than my malmsteen guitar ,,, the duncans are true single coil again and high output ,,, but i do like them alot ... malmsteen uses the hs3 and yjm cos of course they have a single coil sound but also because of the low output ,,,, this low output gives him a clear tone with less hum .
