I have a Ibanez SA-160 QM (Neck-centre-bridge = Single Coil-Single Coil-Humbucker), for which I bought a SSL-1 vintage staggered (Single coil) a while ago and put it in the neck position. It turned out groovy, and now I'm going for 2 more pickups.
I want to shift the SSL-1 tot the centre position and put a SL-59-1 Lil '59 single coil sized humbucker in the neck position. In the bridge position goes a fullsize humbucker, either the SH-1-'59 or the SH-55 Seth Lover humbucker. Or should I go for the somewhat more oomphy SH-14?
I mainly play Blues and Rock/Rock&Roll. Since I didn't know that when I bought that Ibanez, I'll just have to make do. Do any of you guys have experience with any of those pickups on those positions? Since I'm having a hard time, what would you choose for the bridge humbucker, the SH-1 59 or the SH-55? My Ibanez is a fairly bright and instrument, and the origininal pickups are just awful. I'm not looking for high-output pickups.
I'm hoping to buy a new guitar next year so this is a temporary solution to get a better sound for now.
Any tips or advice is more then welcome! If you know any other pickups that would suit my wish better, make sure you let me know!
