hey, i've got a question regarding pick-up choice for a Red Bear MK 60 head. for those who may not have heard of them, they're a russian handwired tube head, discontinued in the 90's, and distrobuted by gibson. Currently i have an epiphone sg with a SD alnico 2 pro in the bridge, and basically it sounds like total ass. however, a friend of mine has a similar guitar, but with a SD custom custom, and the same head, and it sounds increadible through both of our heads! basically its an extreamly picky head, sounds alot like a JCM 800, but a little creamier if you will... basically i'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for which type of pickup will get me a warm, more mid-heavy sound. the amp doesn't like alot of high's, as it tends to result in noisy, shrill and just plain irritating tones. anyways, if anyone has heard this amp, it'd be a great help, or just some general pickups to try out that have a thick mid-range. thanks!
and just for fun, here's a red bear on ebay, same as mine, if any of you are curious about the head:
