I am still looking for a bridge pickup to put in my '92 LPP standard. I'm replacing a Jackson j-50BC and I would like to take out the JE-1200 active mid boost circuit to get rid of battery hassles.
I was looking at the wrong stuff - I assumed it was a high output distortion pup, as I got into them through my old charvel model 4... But info on the jackson stuff is scarce. I did some old thread searching, and it seems that the j-50BC is a "vintage ceramic" model, somewhere in the vicinity of 8.6-8.7K resistance.
I'm looking for a similar drive level, but would like some clarity without adding brightness. I'm thinking A2, but I don't know squat about pickup specs. I thought maybe the Burstbucker 3, or maybe a custom shop seth lover, wound to 8.7 and potted.
I want uncovered, either black or double creme. Can I pull the covers off of the burstbuckers or seths? Do I need a higher resistance to keep the same output when changing from ceramic to A2?
