Hi
I have problem with designion of right bridge pickup.
Please help if you can.

I have Jackson Warrior WRXT in basewood body and Duncan Design HB108 humbuckers.This is Korean copy Saymour Duncan.Distorzion.

He is look like Invader because he have big hex srews pole pieces.

But his Sound is too bassy and I want more sharper and harsh higher sound. Play 80 hairy metal.
Please what pick up you recommend.
SD Distorzion B Winter Alternative 8
Dimarzio Evo Super2 Dactivator Paf Pro
EVH wolfang Humbucer
Which is best opnion.
What is best magnet for basewood alnico or ceramic.

Welcome, see this topic:

You can start by swapping the big hex screws out for normal hex screws (see Full Shred) and see if you can restore some highs this way. Pickup wise, Duncan JB, Distortion or Custom can get you in the ballpark. The choice of speaker is also really important. How are you dialing your overdrive and amp tone?

A JB is usually easy to find and is perfect for an 80s sound.

I would suggest the SH-13 Dimebucker. The Dimebucker is also fairly bright and a great metal pickup. You will not lose your bottom and chug within the brightness.

I would normally recommend a JB, but if a guitar sounds naturally dark, you'd wanna stay away from that.

The DiMarzio Super Distortion is a good 80s pick. It's thick-sounding, but also extremely bright as well.

I am big on ceramics in basswood. In some guitars I do like alnico-based pickups just fine, but in basswood I find the crisper attack of ceramics to help with overall (top and bottom) definition.
Dimebucker can really work great in basswood.

Does the guitar have a tremolo?

 

[sdelac2]

Yes have tremolo
