Dime's bridge pickup delivers crunchy pick attack, scooped midst, and just the right amount of saturation. He wanted his signature humbucker to have a thick crunch that sags just a little when you really lay into it. Combine that with a full, tight, low end response, a ceramic magnet, with dual stainless steel blades, and you have the Dime bucker. Dime preferred the warm, smooth power of a 59 Bridge pickup in the neck position to balance with his signature bridge Dime bag pickup. It gave extra teeth to his solos. In a 2004 interview Dime bag described the tone of the Dime bucker, "Its very saturated not to the point where its overly fuzzy but it has a smooth and crunchy distortion tone. It will give you some extra gain, but it wont go so far that your sound breaks up and is going crazy. You get that warm tone with the distortion mixed in and it has the low end that's kicking you in the butt while the top end is cutting your face off in the right way, but not ripping your face off. If you ever listen to a Pant era record, that's what you'll hear through this pickup".
