A good combo?

[Jovan]

I want to put DiMarzio Pro-Track in bridge and The Chopper in the neck in my Squier Standard Stratocaster. What do you think about that, would they sound good. I play Hard Rock & Heavy Metal from 80s usually and some blues. I want tight bass, thick & crunch sound but with good definition. I need to hear every note. I use 11s (strings) and i use MXR Distortion + M-104 with MXR 6-band EQ M-109. Thanks!

I think that combo would work well, but I personally preffer the FastTrack 2 at the bridge with a Pro Track at the neck and a Cruiser in the middle. This would make a fatter sounding combo.

Re: A good combo?

my take on this is... get a different guitar if you can. I really dislike squires.. I don't know why, but I never liked them; they're a step down from a Fender MIM strat (which is a good guitar, don't get me wrong)! Anyway, if you want to go humbucker route, get a Full Shred neck. It sounds like it's exactly what you need in that position, as is a Custom in the bridge. They're both thick and well defined from what I've heard.

Do you think (or you're sure) that Fast Track 2 has good definition? I would buy duncans too if they can do the work (but only pickups that have rails). Are the Cool Rails better pickup then Pro Track for my needs (bridge position)?

I know the Fast Track 2 has good definition, more so than the Duncan Hot Rails. I like the FASt Track 2, but the HR is a bit too compressed and woofy for me.
