Ok so I got a chance coming up to afford some new pickups or something. I really like my tb6. I have a Jackson hss dinky with a maple neck and poplar body. It has the tb6 and is my favorite guitar to play. I also have a lower end Ibanez. Around $229. It's got a shark toothed purple heart fretboard on a maple neck and basswood or poplar body. It's also hh hard tail
Budget is up to about 300 but doesn't have to be all of it.
I have a few ideas but I'm not sure exactly which way to go. One idea was to swap the tb6 into the Ibanez and get something new for the Jackson knowing I can swap it into the Ibanez if I liked it better before. My ideas were...
another distortion but a sh6 because the Ibanez has no floyd.
A nazgul
invader? Not a huge fan but it could be a good one too?
Or a jb. The jb sounds really good in all the videos.
Emg sa sa 81 set (this is just a dream of mine. If I get this this is all I would get. If I buy a humbucker I may be able to get a few things)
if I go emg its stuck and they wont get put into the Ibanez. The nazgul sounds just like an 81 in the video I saw that's why it's on this list. The jb was said to be used by dave mustain at one time.
With the exception of the emgs I could put them in the Ibanez if I dont like them for the Jackson and decide to go back to the distortion. I really just want something that breaks up and gets dirty easy. The distortion works really good for that but that's the only humbucker I own that's any good.
For the Jackson I also thought about getting some singles but there not as important to me right now..
Jb jr in neck and hot rails in the middle.
Quarter lbs singles with either the same middle or hot rail combination between neck and middle.
Someday I will get a neck pickup for the Ibanez. If it's the distortion in the bridge I may get a jb for the neck or something equivalent. Not worried about the Ibanez right now. Ot will get all the hand me downs.
I really want to have that Metallica sound. I know I need a better amp someday but I'm learning how to set it better every day. Fender lt25. I want as much distortion as I can get that not going to sound like crap. I want high output and pinch harmonics in every position. No more thoughts of jazzy neck or blues. Just going all out metal machine.
Hey also!?? What do you guys think of white pickups in the Jackson? I think it might look cool but I'm not sure. I was also thinking about the zebra look but I'm not sure. I dont exactly like the black and cream look. I wish it was just black and white and no I dont want to afford custom made even tho I wish I could because I would do some sort of red and black deal. What do you guys think?
