Bridge pickup replacement for Jackson Dinky

Re: Bridge pickup replacement for Jackson Dinky

I've got the Custom/59 in my SG already, so I could get them out and try them in the Dinky. I have a pal that's willing to send me over some pups and let me test them out, has most of what you guys said. I'll go over and test his stuff out. Thanks for the replies!
Edit: that Super Distortion sounds crap in lower tunings in my opinion.

Some of these posts just make me cringe lol.

Don't use anything too hot with that amp or it'll sh-- mud bricks! Just like these guys

81 into 6505+

and invaders are always mud,,,,,,,just like on Master Of Puppets right?
 
Re: Bridge pickup replacement for Jackson Dinky

85 into rectifiers is waaay too much to not suck like classic KSE tones.

maple necks, alder bodies, ebony and phenolic boards,,,,,,,,,,,kinda like? you guessed it,,,,,,Jackson MIJ dinkys!

The jb suggestions are good, as are the BKPs.

Why would they waste their time with full-size recto cabs anyways? Those turn anything into terd-juice right?
high-output pups into high-gain amps + mud cabs,,,,,,,what are they even doing?

They're not running scared!

Matthias Jabs? Guy gets forgotten so often LOL. Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner? Off the charts, far as I am concerned

Compression.

Hot pickups + high gain amp?

My Mark IV with an EMG in the bridge sounded pretty righteous at band volume. No mush, quiet and easily controlled.

My Quickrod + Super Distortion is killing it too.
 
Re: Bridge pickup replacement for Jackson Dinky

I apologize to everyone for being a bit condescending in my posts last night. I do get carried away sometimes when slamming the cervezas (Modelos, my current beer of the week). (yeah blame it on the booze a-hole) I was feeling all hardcore and even headbanging to the videos I posted. (mildly mind you, I'm 43 and could easily hurt my already nerve-damaged neck lol)

There really hasn't been any bad suggestions or ones that couldn't work great depending on settings and boosters and/or ODs, I just get a little too defensive on the "no need for high-output pups anymore" point-of-view.

tonight I'm a happy drunk!

Dude that's 2nd all time for viewpoints that piss me off. 1st is bone nuts are the best when they're actually the worst.
 
Re: Bridge pickup replacement for Jackson Dinky

It's all personal preference.

For some types of metal I wouldn't use anything but a high output pickup with a signal chain capable of high gain, but it will also have the ability to cut the flub before it hits the stages that provide the lion's share of that gain when necessary. For a Marshall that might mean a method to cut the bass before the amp and/or using a lower blocking cap after the first stage of gain in the amp. For a Mark II-IV (lead channel on a V) the tone control is pre-gain and then a 5-band before the power section, so you can use whatever pickup you want with however much gain you want with zero fear of mush; an OD that high-passes in front is just icing.

That some people are incapable of getting good tone with a bone nut is not my problem.

Zealots will be zealots and (hopefully) the rest can get a chuckle out of it.

My Les Paul has a high output pickup AND a bone nut.
That guitar is the balls. They both work for me.
 
Re: Bridge pickup replacement for Jackson Dinky

Way to directly contradict yourself.
Not sure how I contradicted myself. That I *personally* wouldn't use a less than high output pickup for a style of metal that I believe warrants a high output one and mentioned methods to control mush if it's a problem is not the same as if I had said a bone nut is the worst nut for tone for anyone and everyone as a blanket statement.

Even if my preference for high output pickups for certain high-gain applications makes me a zealot, I *still* don't see any contradiction.

It's all personal preference - Everyone's and especially your beliefs are acceptable.
Zealots will be zealots - Others' beliefs are irrational.
