alright... I'm between the 59b and custom bridge pickups for a basswood schecter. My other pickup posts have been fairly general, so here's a list of basically I want
-super clarity under high distortion, no mushed notes, hear every note in a chord.
-a "big" sound, not compressed, pretty airy, NOT like a duncan distortion.
-not overpowering (but still existant) bass, plenty of mids, it can be fairly bright but highs can't be searing.
-heavy metal capable, with good palm mute chunk.
basically I want a stone temple pilots type tone (think songs like plush or interstate love song, not the mushy, dark sound on down and the like).
will the custom be defined enough? Will the 59 be hot enough? what do you recommend? Any other suggestions?
thanks,
dan
