I’ll be dropping an SH-5 into my LP soon and I’m not sure what to pair it with in the neck. I have a bunch of pickups on hand that I’d like to ideally use instead of buying something new.
Here’s the choices.
Bluesbucker(DP163)
PAF 36th Anny(DP 103)
PAF Classic (DP194)
BKP Rebel Yell
The Custom is a zebra bobbin and the others are all black bobbins. The BKP still has a nickel cover on it so I don’t know what color the bobbins are....I’d be open to checking out some of those sticker toppers if anybody knows where to get them. I see them on eBay but wasn’t sure if anybody knows a better place to get them?
What are your thoughts on the neck pickup?
Rock, hard rock tones. Not looking for modern metal sounds....more like what you would call “classic” high gain Marshall hard rock tones.
The bluesbucker is interesting because it can do a pretty good p90 bluesy sound.
The 36th, iirc was bassy and maybe too thick. But I probably could have tweaked that a bit more.
I’ve never had the PAF Classic installed so I don’t know much about the it and the BKP was installed so long ago that I can’t recall the details. I do remember it being a good pickup though.
Currently I have a set of Fokin pups installed. The neck pickup is his “Rocket Queen”. It’s like an A2P or Slash neck. And it sounds good...but I’m maybe looking to experiment.
