The Gravity Storm Neck & Bridge Model pickups were designed for
Steve Vai, and are the next step in his pickup evolution. The pickups
are named after a song on his album, Steve Vai: The Story of Light.
Steve described the sound he wanted from his new Gravity Storm™ Bridge
Model pickup as “a thundering cloud of ice cream”. He didn’t say what
flavor he likes, but this one has both bite and sweetness.
A
high-impact pickup doesn't need a tremendous output level to make its
point. Where the Evolution® Bridge Model is about power and sharp-edged
tone, the Gravity Storm™ is more about depth and warm highs and mids.
It's very much a plug and play pickup - it doesn't require a lot of
tweaking to get a great sound. Because the highs are very fat, it's
possible to increase treble response on your amp without losing tone and
sustain on the high frets.
