Pick up Advice

[sscovill]

I have a HSH Ibanez Jem body and I'm trying to configure the pick ups. The problem is, I SUCK at that. I'm not a speed player. I play rhythm and play songs from bands like AC/DC, Motley Crue, Scorpions, etc...

I like a good beefy tone but one that doesn't overpower. I like the Screamin Demon, but am unsure about the other 2. I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions that anyone wants to throw at me.


Thanks...

Where's the Demon going? The bridge?
How about a Quarter Pound single and a 59n?

Re: Pick up Advice

Sounds like you play classic rock

Any of these would work for you

Bridge: JB, Custom 5, Distortion
Middle: Classic Stack, Quarter Pound
Neck: 59, Jazz

Re: Pick up Advice

The best and most versatile bridge pickup I’ve used is the DiMarzio Imperium. It’s medium-hot, very big and full sounding, but super clear, even under obscene gain and tuned way down (great for standard, too). It is not a PAF in the slightest, though.
