JohnDaBass Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Now these look interesting. https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2020/09/18/dimarzio-collaborates-with-billy-sheehan-for-relentless-pickups/ Another option for upgrading a P bass. I have been a long time fan of the DiMarzio Split P, I love it's depth and range so these may offer something different in a competitive P bass Pup after market.

hooky_lowdown Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Seems like a split p with a different casing, and costing more than a split p. Well done the DiMarzio marketing department. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done the DiMarzio marketing department. 😉 Well, except if one is to trust the DiMarzio tone charge with a lot more mids, rated 8 in midrange, whereas the old Split P were just 5, slightly more bass with an 8,5 rating, versus the old Split P's 8, and slightly less treble as well, with a rated 5, versus the old Split P having a rating of 6. So not exactly the exact same. Here's the link to the new Relentless P on DiMarzio's homepage: https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/standard-bass/relentless-middle And here's the link to the old Split P: https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/standard-bass/split-p The new Relentless P also have less output and lower resistance than the Split P and all in all seems to be closer to a beefed up Model P pickup than a new take on the Split P, well except of for the blade humbucker part that the Split and Relentless does have in common. I could totally see myself getting a pair of these instead of my Model P, as said it seems like an upgrade with the output, low end and mids turned up slightly and as a bonus promissed to ve totally noiseless, which sadly can't be said about the Model P, even if I love the tone it gives me.

fretmeister Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Billy puts epoxy on his, presumably he’ll have to still do that because metal covers will be horrible if the string touches it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) I wonder whether he really designed these to be able to use a bass with these fitted as an e-meter for his scientology auditing.
