I own a new(ish) Yamaha Pacifica for which I want new pickups. Alder body, Maple Neck, Rosewood fretboard, Hum-Sing-Sing.
I play multiple styles so I have a few conerns. I play alot of metal, not nu-metal crap but stuff more like Opeth :32: , Children of Bodom, Dark Tranquility, Nightwish. I play alot of darkish jazz, usually using the neck and mid pups, I dont want anything particularly bright but i need something with alot of pop and articulation, and I play a bit of blues. SRVish type stuff. I would also like the versatility to be able to go into Eric Johnson, Satch, that sort of stuff, but my foremost concern is the metal.
I really want a sound somewhere around what Nightwish has, with a touch of Opeth. if anyone knows anything about the equipment Nightwish uses that would be great. I know Opeth uses a SH-10 quite often, which is what I am thinking of getting in the Bridge. Actually i'm pretty dead set on an SH-10 in the bridge, but any suggestions would be great, i was also looking at the Duncan Distortion.
One last thing, musicians friend no longer sells SH-10's (!). Where would I be able to get one for a good price? also, I am planning a Warmoth Project, in which i also want a SH-10 in the bridge, and an SH-2 in the neck, however, since SD does not make SH-10s with a gold cover, who would be able to do it for me?
TY, Please Help. :smack:
