I have a Carvin Bolt Plus guitar that I want to replace the pickups in.
Specs:
Swamp ash body
Maple neck
Rosewood fretboard
Stainless jumbo frets
25 1/2" scale
Double Humbucker (currently has C22J in the neck and C22B in the bridge)
Direct mount pickups
Floyd Rose bridge
I love the way the guitar plays, but don't really care for the sound. It is a little thin and just doesn't cut through with the band.
I have a Carvin neck through (ST300) with the same pickups and it rocks, but it is a maple neck through, alder body, ebony fretboard, nickel frets. I thought for sure the ST would be the brighter guitar but I was wrong.
I have a Duncan Custom Custom and an old PATB-1 with alnico 8 magnet.
I'd like to find a good neck pickup to go with one of these.
I'm looking for a good all around tone, PAF PRO sort of vibe, with lots of sustain and harmonics. Very warm sounding, but not dark and muddy.
I play lots of melodic clean stuff - I like bell like tones that cut through the mix, but stay warm
I play lots of medium overdrive stuff - mostly rhythm stuff, but occasional mellow bluesy leads
I play lots of heavy distortion stuff - odd chords, leads, etc. I want to hear every note in every chord.
The Tone Wizard suggests 59n and Jazz for everything. I've tried a few 59's and really liked them in an old PRS CE24, but didn't really think they were very special in most other guitars. I had a neck through Schecter with a Jazz in the neck and it was ok.
What do you guys suggest? I was thinking DiMarzio PAF PRO and Super Distortion or Tone Zone, but I already have 2 Duncan trembuckers sitting around.
