I agree with John. That being said, I do think they represent a great dollar for dollar for value over the Dry Z's. I've had two Super Real's with original Dry Z's and an ES and an SG with Double Tricks. The Double Tricks lack a little of the sparkle or articulation inherent in the Dry Z's, but they were very nice pups IMHO.
Fifty where you bee? Seams I don't see you on here in forever, then you pop up, I see your a fan of Old School German metal. Did ya see Accept back together with the old TT Quick singer?fiftywatt said:RyanC said:JohnA said:Although the Dry-Z is undoubtably a great sounding pickup, the prices are definitely elevated by reputation an rarity, a set of double-tricks would IMO be lucky to fetch $150 on ebay.

I've never heard the Dry Z's firsthand.. only the Dry 82's in a couple of different Greco LP's. Good sounding but not moreso than your average modern day Dimarzio Virtual PAF or similar. I recently owned an '82 Greco EX-800 (their Hamer Explorer replica) that came stock with a pair of uncovered creme bobbin Double Tricks. Those were fine sounding pickups to be sure. Not super articulate for clean sounds but very nice for crunchy metal rhythms ala Accept, MSG, Scorpions, UDO, etc. Very nice vocal singing tones for high gain leads too. The Double Tricks are good!
