Hello, I was looking around and there are a variety of pickups to choose from and I'm clueless. I have an Ibanez Iceman 400. I'd like some suggestions on what pickups to consider. I like playing metal so I'd like a nice and heavy sound. Thanks.

Re: Suggestions
Buy the neck version of the Disto, sounds very good on a pair.
If the guitar has a tremolo, grab a trembucker sized for better e string responce.Playing:

If metal is all you play then probably a distortion pair. But if you might want to do something else with that guitar one day you could look into a JB/59 combo, which would be great for metal but could quite nicely do a whole lot more too. Very versatile combo. Or a JB/Jazz combo...same deal.

Re: Suggestions
For metal, go with the Distortion pair. The bridge model is the best metal riffing pickup ever! I haven't heard the neck, yet. But I am looking to get a pair for one of my guitars. For a Distortion class pickup, they have pretty decent cleans as well.Everything in this post is the sole opinion of the author.
