Jerry Cantrell pups

[Stratoplayer]

I know the JB is perfect for Alice in Chains, but what about his solo albums? I really like the intro to "Bargain Basement Howard Hughes," off of Degradation Trip. What pups would be good for that tone? I'd imagine something like Custom/59, cause it's crunchy, and he's using Pauls now pretty much.

Stock?!? Seriously? Which ones, the 498/500Ts, the BBs?

I don't think he really cared a lot about his pups. Think about it. The man has one of the first Bogners ever made, he has tone no matter what guitars or effects he runs it through

P.S. Your avatar rules... I love Tool

Yeah you're right. But for some poor sucker like me who has a mere mortal amp, how could I come close to that tone?

P.S. I like your avatar too, assuming you mean to reference that episode of Family Guy.

I'd say a Custom 5 or Custom will have the tight bottom which is perfect for Alice type riffs. As long as the distortion on your amp is set about the same as Jerry's, you won't be that far off.

I use pretty much the same rig as Cantrell, so I know those two pickups will do it for ya. Now, if I could only get my tone to be
as bad as Jerry's.......LOL.....OK, I'll stop! LOL

Bad tones, c'mon man! LOL, anyways, yes it would definately work for Alice stuff, but it would work for his solo album stuff right? Just want to be 100% sure of facts before I commit them to memory
