Hi all,
I'm 'kinda' new here (I wandered these fora a couple of years ago, but I haven't been here since..)
So, I had a question (of course..)
I have an all maple Jackson PCS dinky in which I have replaced the original pick-ups with a SD Distortion and a Cool Rail about 3 years ago.
Now, I've always found the Distortion sounding too trebly, so not really what I expected (though it already made a HUGHE difference with the original BL XL500L). Recently I found out this was due to the maple body, I didn't know the kind of wood used had such an impact on the sound at that time. Now I'm thinking of maybe replacing it.
I have a poplar (or alder) RR1 in wich I've replaced the TB4 with a Custom and this pup sounds great. Nice leads even from a bridge pup (I don't like using the distortion for leadsounds in the dinky, just not enough body. I know Joey Tafolla uses one and here it sounds great, thus it just should be the maple). But it might have sounded a little more agressive.
Ok, now a couple of questions.
People told me that just swapping the custom with the distortion wouldn't really make a difference. What do you think?
How would the Invader sound in the dinky? Would this make a difference? Any other advice?
I mainly play metal and shred with the dinky.
Should sound agressive and warm'er', thus making it possible to have a nice fluent leadtone in a maple body. Hopefully you've understood my problem a little and you can help me out.
thanks in advance
