After playing a lot on my own, I finally got a band, and the plan is to start rehearsing and search for gigs for summer.
The thing is I have to update my rig for rehersal and gigiin (just got a 30watts valvestate for bedroom use)
The plan is to get a pair of used Les Pauls form Ebay and then plug new pickups in it. It seems it will go through a 50watts Marshall Head, probably a DSL
The thing is what pickup to buy. This are the things I want in a pair of pickups:
.Overtones, harmonics and muscial feedback, that's very important to me
.Medium-high output humbucker
.Good for distorsion
.Nice clean up when rolling volume guitar down (also a priority)
.Capable of nice country and western tones, but maybe to achive that the pickups should have coil spilitting.........
.Sweet and claer (no bassy) leads on rythm PU
The music we are gonna play is influenced by hard rock of the 70's, earle heavy metal, glam-pop metal from the 80's and plain raw rock n ' roll.
It seem the Jazz / JB combination is very famous, will it work for me? I have only played with dimarzios pickups, tried the Superdistortion and the Tonezone. very good but non of the suited me: I liked the bottom end and roundness of the TZ but miss tha clarity of the Super, that lacked a little character. Also I'm atracted to puta a Gibson dirty fingers in the bridge, will siut me?
So guys what do you think?
