Jackson DXMG on Carvin Pickups!!!! Comments!!!!!!!????

[felipe_alonso_ruiz]

Ok, i Got a Jackson DXMG, yeah they came with Passive EMG, im not into metal now, u can say fusion, rock, jazz. I know macalpine was using carvins and C22 pickups, on neck and bridge, so i really love the CAB2 tone. What probabilities of getting a nice tone with those Carvin pickups on my Jackson, or maybe other pickups advice always welcome!!!! im intrigued with the Carvin though.

MacAlpine didn't sound too good with his Carvin sevin string at the Crossroads festival compared to Vai.

The C22's are Carvin's version of the PAF. The dirty tones are decent, ut the cleans are boxy and clunky.

If you have an amp that has enough gain, I would go with a Pearly Gates in the neck and a 59 in the bridge, or if you need more output, a Pearly Gates in the neck and a Custom in the bridge would do what you want.

Actually, I preffered McAlpine's tone over Vai's on that DVD. Tony's tone just seemed more "real" to me.
