DiMarzio The
Cruiser® Neck Model DP186
All that single-coil sound, and none of the noise.... No humbucking pickup sounds exactly like a vintage single-coil, but the Cruiser® is about the closest you can come. We make one coil the woofer, and the other the tweeter. This extends the range of the noise-canceling design, and allows us to enhance the best qualities of each coil while fine tuning the output. We call this our dual-resonance design, and it's patented. There is less magnetic-pull, and it still sounds clean, clear and bright.
Recommended For:
Neck position
with DP187 , or neck & middle
with hotter bridge like Fast Track 1TM, ChopperTM, Pro TrackTM
or full-size humbuckers.
Tech Talk:
The obvious question about the Cruiser® is How real is the sound?
Our feeling is that the unwound strings (E, B & G) are very close, and the wound strings (D, A & low
E) are a little fatter-sounding than a true single-coil. This is really effective
for getting big-sounding chords, because high and low strings sound more spread
out from each other. Having a total magnet pull that's about 40% less than standard
single-coils also means the Cruiser® can be adjusted much closer to the strings for more power than stock pickups can achieve.
