Need suggestions

I have a Tanglewood Tomkat TE6JH. Has ash for body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, Wilkinson-style trem, is semi hollow. Has quite good pups for the time being, but I want to replace them wiht some better ones. I'm writing this here because I don't have a lot of experience with pups, and besides the Tone Wizard doesn't include my semi hollow choise. I'm the sort of player with heavy riffs, screaming leads and melodic interludes etc. The '59/JB choise would be sort of fool-proof I think, but maybe Custom 5/AlnicoII, or JB/Jazz??? Should have 4 conductor wire(both).

Welcome to the Forum.

For your styles, I would lean towards a Custom Custom in the bridge, and perhaps a Seth Lover or Alnio II Pro humbucker in the neck.

Re: Need suggestions

OK, seems sensible enough. Probably I'll get the AlnicoII, but has anyone had experience with a Custom5 in an ash body? There isn't a sound clip for it but the text sure looks appetizing.
