Re: Help me choose pickups for my new Predator
Ah . . . thats right. You said that in another post. :smack:
Well, a Mayhem set is a good choice too. Don't let the "Distortion" name throw you. I think they have a great clean sound, and they split fantastic. I'm going to get another one to go with the one I have in the neck of my Patriot in the next week or so.
I think there's a few folks that would attest to the Distortion set. Travis?

Re: Help me choose pickups for my new Predator
The Distortion split is one of my favorite "clean" sounds. Its one of the reasons I haven't gotten around to putting a bridge pup in that guitar.
Here's a thread where I did a "clean" clip with the Distortion split.

A distortion set would be a fine choice...I had a DD in a basswood super strat once...killer guitar! If you have a 5 way switch and you get a mega or a super switch you can do lots of options with spliting!

Re: Help me choose pickups for my new Predator
In my PRS I've got a Distortion/custom hybrid, and the split sound of the distortion is great! You could go with the neck model too, I've never tried it myself.
My buddy's predator has a cool rails, hot rails, and Custom Custom. I REALLY like the Custom Custom's tone. Split the pup sounds stratty but smooth like the A2Ps.
Predators are GREAT guitars.

Re: Help me choose pickups for my new Predator
Well, my predator isn't basswood (AFAIK), but I love the CC in the bridge. I don't have any clips of it by itself, though. I hope to be getting around to that shortly. I haven't had much experience with the distortion.

Re: Help me choose pickups for my new Predator
Thanks for the replies. It's probably gonna be distortion set with coil splitting. I don't want to go with Custom Custom, because i dont think it would work well with basswood+a mid heavy amp. I was worried about the distortion set at first because i didnt want to lose my cleans. I play jazz and blues often. It looks like i'll be able to get my metal/shred sounds, and jazz/blues sounds split.

I've never used a Screamin' Demon, but here's a good thread on them:

Re: Help me choose pickups for my new Predator
can i make a suggestion. if your predator has a blade switch, use a super switch and wire it up like fender's HH strats. here's the rundown, bridge to neck:
1. full bridge
2. bridge and neck split (inner coils i believe) (parallel)
3. bridge and neck full (parallel)
4. neck split (outer coil only)
5. neck full
that would be the optimum in my opinion
