I used the pickup wizard but im not sure yet...
it recommends the following:
Bridge 1 SH-4 JB Model hummer.shtml#2 Description Tonechart
Bridge 2 SH-14 Custom 5 na.shtml Description Tonechart
Neck 1 SH-2N Jazz Model hummer.shtml#1 Description Tonechart
Neck 2 SH-1N '59 Model hummer.shtml#1 Description Tonechart
Middle 1 na.shtml na.shtml Description Tonechart
Middle 2 na.shtml na.shtml Description Tonechart
so basically I have either the JB or Custom 5 for bridge, and either a Jazz or '59 for neck. The problem is, I have seen a thread on here that says the JB sucks...and im not sure about the custom 5. any suggestions would be great.
edit: guitar is a PRS copy with the following:
Basswood Body
Flamed Maple top
22 fret set neck
24.75" scale
abalone inlays
sealed tuners
tune-o-matic bridge
2x zebra humbuckers
1 volume 1 tone
3 way selector switch
thanks!
I play mainly rock (not metal or anything really heavy) and blues.
edit again: (thanks JBfromhell
)
Im running my guitars into a Marshall Jcm2000 dsl50 head connected to a 1960a cabinet.
the only pedals I have are a visualsound jekyll + hyde dual overdrive, and a delay. I like running straight into the amp though, it works well for me. The stock pickups in my guitar are a bit muddy, which is the main thing I want to fix probably. I would like a fat pickup but still clear. As said earlier, im mainly doing rock/blues. thanks!
edit once again lol: is it possible to have seymourduncan add pickup covers before they ship the pickup to you?
