Bridge pickup for Washburn N24 agathis body?

[ledvedder]

I recently acquired a Washburn N24, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005F2NZ6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_8NHaCb4YYWTVN. It's a super comfortable guitar to play, but the stock Washburn neck pickup and BL XL500 bridge pickup aren't so great. I have both a Jazz and a 59 that I'm going to try in the neck. I'm wondering what to put in the bridge. I play heavier rock (AIC, VH, etc). Not super chugga chugga metal.

Custom, Custom 5, Distortion, Black Winter, 59/C hybrid ... the options are endless. Depends on the amp and other factors.

So what's the problem with the Bill Lawrence? BE SPECIFIC.

I feel that it's too bright.

OH... Okay. Another cap on your tone control, maybe?

This guitar has no tone control. Just 1 500K volume pot.

Resurrecting this thread. I started a new one because I forgot I already created this one. I'm still looking for some recommendations for replacing my bridge pickup.

I'd go with a Custom or Custom Custom. Same power, but different EQ. Pick the one you want.

Agathis is supposedly a soft wood not unlike Basswood. Huh, I would think the Agathis would offset the brightness of the L500XL. Maybe a Custom Custom if you're looking for a something that isn't that bright but still has top end to it. It'll be thicker in the low-mids though.

PATB-1b thickens u a guitar nicely without being super aggressive.
