Hi all i'm new here and i could use some help. I'm looking for a bridge and neck pickup for my Ibanez RG370DX. I generally play rock and some metal. Thanks for any help.

Re: Need Pickup Suggestion

Rock and metal are probably the 2 broadest genres around. The JB bridge/´59 neck is a good all around setup, but if you give us more Info we can probably find something that will suit you better.

It´s hard (actually almost impossible in my experience) to recommend a Pickup combo that can go all the way from Hendrix /Cream/ The Who /Niel Young /Zeppelin on one end and Meshuggah/ Dying Fetus /Morbid Angel / Arch Enemy on the other

OK then progressive metal and rock to be more specific. stuff like joe satch, steve vai, Dream Theater, etc

dont most, if not all, of the guys you listed use dimarzio? .. if you need to nail that their tones, you might need to look there ...

but i think a screamin demon bridge and a jazz neck might be worth a listen too ... a JB / 59 is a sweet combo ..

good luck
