Hey all. If you own a ibanez rg 550, basswod body, maple neck, floydrose, what pickups have you used for the bridge postion. I play a little of everything from metal to classic rock. What sd pickup is the most versital for this. Dont want a too bright or distorted pickup. Have a pearly gates installed right now, and it sounds good, still considering a C5 though for a little more output, but would it be to bright in this body config? Rather have the amp do this. Its a peavey triple xxx combo so gain is not a problem. Thanks......

I have a JB on my RG1550. No complains from me, I play from Deep Purple to Boston to Megadeth to Metallica's And Justice For All and it fits the bill perfectly. It's definitely versatile, and it's not really bright, it's just very mid loaded... something I love. No way I'm taking it out of there!
