Hi,
I am looking for a bridge pickup that can make a nice match for a neck Whole Lotta Humbucker on a BC Rich Mockingbird pro-X hardtail. The guitar is a 24 frets neck-through mahogany with mahogany wings, maple top and an ebony fingerboard. Tune-O-matic bridge with stop tail.
It came with active EMGs, but they are a bit too agressive for what I like to play -more Blues-rock/Hard Rock rather than metal-, so I was thinking in changing to passive pickups. I heard that 24 frets need a neck humbucker with slightly more output than an average neck PAF. It happens that I found a good deal in a Whole Lotta Humbucker neck in a local exchange webpage (second hand but never used or installed), and I think it may work there. I will make the transaction this week. Now I am looking for a good match in the bridge.
Also, I have a pair of triple-shot rings that I got for another project that never happened (I sold that guitar before making the mods) I am planning to use them on this one. So I would like something that splits nicely.
I see some second hand around like: SH-1, SH-4, SH-5, SH-12, DiMarzio Tone Zone, Superdistorsion, PAF Pro and Fred, Iron gear hot slag, Gibson Dirty fingers...
If none of them sounds really convincing I will go the route of a new pick up and get either the WLH bridge or a SH-16 custom/59 hybrid.
Thanks in advance!
