Hey Everyone...I need your advise on some pickups..
I fool around with a lot of styles (most not very well) but always seem to find a home with thick distortion....heavy but articulate chording, and a lot of soloing...I want good palm mute chunk and attack...and good tone for soloing-good attack and not too shrill...I play through a Peavey xxl head and 2 x 12 carvin Steve Vai cab.
I have two guitars that I am interested in replaciong the bridge pups in...
1) '86 Jackson soloist....poplar body, maple neck through, ebony fingerboard, original Floyd. I had a JB in for years but wanted something different, got a c5 but dont like the attack, maybe not quite aggressive enough...was thinking about a Custom based on some threads I've read...any suggestions?
2) Ibanez (forgot which model #) made in Japan...twin humbuckers, fixed bridge, string through body, basswood, maple and rosewood...I have a Dimarzio PAF Pro in the neck position which I really like...I tried a Dimarzio Steve's Special in the bridge but sounds too thin....again any suggestions?
I appreciate the help!...Thanks!
