Pickup Advice Needed.

Re: Pickup Advice Needed.

Ok, in that case here's my suggestion:

Get a really fat, thick sounding SC sized humbucker for the bridge (sadly that's my least good area of expertise but I'd think either the Hot Rails or the DiMarzio Tone Zone S should do), a relatively low output pickup for the middle (either leave the one you have right now stock or maybe get a Classic Stack Plus if you MUST have hum-canceling for the middle) and a moderate output pickup for the neck, probably a Cool Rails or a Lil' '59 should do.

If you want that extra "umph" when you need it it wouldn't hurt to also get a SPC, more so to add on the humbucker sound than anything else really.

After that, you'll have to compensate with your rig.
You'll need a scorching hot, compressed sounding high gain amp or pedal to get to where you want.

That should be enough I think.
The neck+/middle should be clear enough to handle the rockier things you'd like to play and the bridge will be as hot as it could possibly be...
 
Re: Pickup Advice Needed.

Thanks that sounds like a plan.

One question though. Does anyone know if the Seymour Duncan hot stack pickups have a nice clean tone?
