Hey folks,
I'm getting started with a baritone guitar (Ibanez RGIB21). It came stock with EMG 60/80s which are fine I guess but they sound kind of flat and tinny to me.
I usually put the Black WInters in my guitars (BW/BW in my LP, BW/Nazgul in my downtuned SG) because I really like the midrange on 'em. THey have a thick kind of round sound that goes great with reverb, chorus and a flanger or a distortion (I tend to play gothy, doomy, or The Cure (like A Forest and Lullaby) type stuff).
I'm using the baritone for a deep dark riff sound. Sometimes some power chordy stuff. I don't do a lot of chugging.
I think The Bunn (Baritone guy on youtube) uses a Jazz/SH-6 combo but he is a bit more metally than I like to play.
I can throw more Black WInters into this one too but I'm wondering if there are other high midrange pickups that I should try out too. I wish the SD site would let you search by the little EQ graph they have in their pickup description pages.
Do any of you guys have any recommendations for dark sounding pickups that might be good to check out other than the BWs? Or should I just stick with the Black Winters?
Thanks
