Members AJ6stringsting Posted March 25, 2020 Members Share Posted March 25, 2020 I started buying their pickups , because one of my guitar students wanted to replace a single coil , for Dragonfire Duo Rail and generic humbucker for a Dragonfire Screamers pickup. I was amazed with the sound quality and floored more when I found out how much they cost. Back in 2009, the Duo Rail cost only $ 14.95 ( today $ 46.00 ) and the Screamer only $ 17.95 ( today. $ 31.00 ). I guess the word is out. These pickup are just as good as Dimarzio, Bare Knuckle or Seymour Duncan . Last year, I ordered over by phone and by chance the phone was answered by the owner, Ken. He gave me a great deal , he sold me a Duo Rail for $ 17.00 and a Vintage Screamer for only $ 24.00. I guess good things don't last for long .

Members 1001gear Posted March 25, 2020 Members Share Posted March 25, 2020 They don't sound bad. Then too the sounds are all distorted. Are they "eq" wound for metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they "eq" wound for metal? The Screamer bridge pickups are great for Metal , with a ceramic magnet and mine was rated at 17.01k ohms ( the site says, 16.9k ohms ) on my meter. Sounds like a cross between a Seymour Duncan JB and a Bill Lawrence XL500. The Duo Rail is a stacked Humbucker , the site says they are wound to 12.02k ohms, I ordered four and my meter read that they are between 11.28k to 12.41k ohms. They tend to sound like a cross between a Dimarzio Chopper, Bill Lawrence L250 with a PAF upper mid spike. I put these in the neck position of my 80's style Super Strats. Any Humbucker rated above 11.00k ohms is going towards a Hard Rock / Heavy Metal tone zone. Anything below, is aiming for a more beefed up Classic 1970's Hard Rock sound .....depending on the gain of the amp or the Overdrive / Distortion / Fuzz pedals going into the amp. By the way dude ....Love your sig !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
