Re: Mighty Mite 1400 vs Dimarzio Super II
dont know about everyone else but listening to strat 78's LD riff on that clip with a MM1400 vintage i hear something in the tone that the MM1300 just doesnt have, nor does the super d have it? something in the mids is right with the 1400

Is that the stock MM1300 or a alnico 8 modded one?Strat78 wrote:I like the 1970's 13.8k MM the best, this was a little too close to the strings, so it got a little overdriven, but it had lots of snarle and feel. Sorry guys for draging out this old clip agian, but it seems relevent to the conversation.

All my recent tone test clips are with a old DSD.
I am after a MM 1400 if you are selling one?

Re: Mighty Mite 1400 vs Dimarzio Super II
I dont own a 1400 to compare but would also really like to know if these super 2's can be a sub like the DSD was for theMM 1300

Re: Mighty Mite 1400 vs Dimarzio Super II
I know the magnets aren't the same in Dimarzios and MM's... both the 1400 and 1300 are way bigger than the Dimarzios...
The D 2 messaurers about 8.7k...as the 1400 8.6... so if there's a magnet swap, it would be the same, right

Re: Mighty Mite 1400 vs Dimarzio Super II
Magnets can vary strengths depending on their charge for instance dimarzio may have used a smaller mag but it had a strength(gauss) the same as the MM larger magnet.

Re: Mighty Mite 1400 vs Dimarzio Super II
Why is the baseplate upside down? Or am I nuts?

Re: Mighty Mite 1400 vs Dimarzio Super II
I've noticed that some of these pickups have the "mighty mite" stamped on that side of the baseplate even when the pickup is assembled with the legs facing the right way. Maybe the seller put the plate this way just to show that it did have the mighty mite stamp? The guy is measuring the pickup wrong. The red wire should be tied off and the black wire soldered to the mesh, then measure the white against the mesh =12k or there a bouts? Oh, it looks like it was painted black, so it could possibly be a 8k mighty mite, originally a cream bobbin (never saw a black one measure that, makes sense now).
