Glad you like it. The Fast Track 2 is my favorite bridge rail pup. If you close your eyes when you play it, it will sound like a full size bucker, Awesome pickup that doesn't get enough credit.
Hi, I'm brand new to this forum, but I was wondering... I just recently installed a full set of DiMarzio rail pickups (Chopper neck/Fast Track 1 middle/Fast Track 2 bridge) in my Strat (alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, vintage style 6-point trem) and I can't decide on what I think about the Fast Track 2 in the bridge.
On one hand, the lead tone is the most beautiful I've ever heard (with my playing anyway, lol), but I can't figure out how much I like the rhythm tone. I think I was expecting more mid/low end gut punch from it based on the description from DiMarzio's website, but to me, this is a super tight, bright sounding pickup.
Although it's somewhat subtle, I hear an almost "cocked wah" tone. Maybe it's supposed to have that slight "aw" sound, or maybe not. This is my first time experiencing this pickup.
All that to say, this makes for an incredible lead tone like I said earlier, but I just don't know if it's right for my rhythm playing.
(EDIT: I also just realized how old this thread was, but I was just searching for advice. Sorry about that!)
