Pickup Suggestions

[RawrImAMonster]

I don't know a lot about the different types of pickups available, so I need some suggestions. First off, I have a Ibanez RG320 guitar, basswood body. Secondly, I'm looking for a Metallica or Zakk Wylde type sound. Even though they both use emgs, I don't want active pickups. So any substitutes would be nice. Also, a few people have suggested a SH-2 Jazz for the neck and SH-4 JB for the bridge. Are they a good choice for that type of sound?

Duncan Invader.

Re: Pickup Suggestions

Invaders are good, i had a set of invader neck and bridge and Metallica sounded great on it.
the Jazz/JB would work for that sound, but if you're getting 2 humbuckers and you want a Zakk Wylde sound, I would suggest Jazz neck and Distortion Bridge.
The Duncan Distortion will get you all the rock sounds you want.

Re: Pickup Suggestions

what amp and what size of speakers and how many speakers will this be running thru? You will not get that tone from just your guitar and a pickup. But with the right amp and speaker cab and pickup combo you can get realy close.

Invader bridge, Jazz neck, or '59 neck for a little less pristine tone.
