Ok, so I've got a DiMarzio Fast Track 2 that I plan on putting in the bridge of my MIM Strat (alder body, Warmoth Pro maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, stainless steel jumbo frets, 6-point tremolo bridge) but first I would like some recommendations for other DiMarzio rail-type pickups for the neck and middle positions.
I mainly play a variety of hard rock/metal, but I dabble in blues, ambient rock and other genres from time to time. So I'd like some versatility out of the other 4 switch positions if possible.
The only tunings I foresee this guitar being used in are standard and Drop D, most likely with 10-46 or 10-52 gauge strings.
I currently play through a Peavey 6505+ 120 watt head into a Port City OS 2x12 Wave cab with WGS Retro 30 and HM75 speakers.
(Just trying to be thorough in case these questions arise later.)
From what I've gathered, I think I wouldn't mind having the Air Norton in the neck and the Cruiser (bridge model) in the middle.
I know I won't exactly get that nice "quack" in the 2 and 4 positions, but it would be nice if I could get close. If it doesn't sound like true single coil tone, that's not necessarily a deal-breaker. If I still end up with a "good", unique tone, that's cool with me.
Whatever I wind up putting in there, would I need to switch ALL pots to 500k, or maybe just the volume?
Thanks in advance, guys!
