Pickup suggestions

[ThrashYSAmmy]

My first post!

Hello, I have trouble deciding what pick ups to put in my ibanez rg350dx (basswood,h-s-h,locking trem) I want a nice trash rythm tone (similar to Megadeth) and a sweet lead tone (similar to Steve Vai). I was thinking of puting a sd invader in the neck and a dimarzio evo in the bridge, what do you guys suggest?

Thanks!

i wouldn't put the invader in the neck. too much bass and will get muddy. im not a big fan of the evo, but i had it in a mahogany guitar which is different than the JEM.

i like the sweet lead tones in the neck that a '59 brings, and the tone of a Custom. my personal recommendation would be a Duncan Custom in bridge and '59 in neck.

the Custom kicks ass!!!! :banana:

heh im not a big fan of the invader in the neck as well.
hmm i play lots of megadeth type stuff and for me these are the combinations that work best for thrash metal tone plus sweet leads especially for a basswood axe like most of the RG series.

Bridge: JB, DD, X2N, PATB-2
Neck: Paf Pro, Virtual Paf, Jazz, Air Norton
