Duncan Distortion in a basswood Ibanez ?

I love the sound of my Duncan Distortions in my Les paul Standard. Would I like them in my Ibanez RG350 ? Basswood body with a rosewood neck (floyd=yes). I didn't know if the different wood would make it different bad/good/or what to expect ? I assume I'll want a ceramic. I play in an 80's/modern rock cover band.

I have an invader in an old kramer, not really a fan of it, didn't like the Duncan Custom in my LP (not enough balls), didn't like the Alt 8 in my LP custom (too organic, not fuzzy enough)...Had EMG's foa long time ((in my LP, wanted better tone, so went to passive Duncans).

Any advice on what bridge pu to put in the Ibanez ?

I recently acquired an old Ibanez RS410. Basswood body, rosewood fretboard, maple neck, Edge FR-licensed double-locking vibrato. I removed the Mighty Mite Motherbucker installed by the previous owner and tried my old SD SH-4 JB (with JBJ sticker!!!).

Begin by trying your SH-5 Custom. If it is too shrill, consider changing the magnet to an A5.

If I really like a pickup I like it in nearly any guitar I put it in. The frequency response might be different than in your LP but I think you will still like it.

I'd go with a PATB-2 Parallel Axis Distortion, they're designed to beef up a thin floyded superstrat to more closely resemble a fat Les Paul.
