you cant just ask us what single coil you want. what kind of music do you play what kind of sound do you want from the pickup.
 
Re: So I've decided on the humbucker

what sound are you looking for? what amp do you play thru? whih guitar are you playing and what are the body/neck woods and hardware? do you need a noiseless pickup? Give us some help and we'll help you. :)

Okay...you're starting to get the idea...who's tones do you like....artists...albums...etc...
 
Re: So I've decided on the humbucker

Dude, what humbucker did you decide on, and if you can pick three people's tones that you are influenced by, or would like to attempt to emulate, who would they be?
 
Re: So I've decided on the humbucker

i decided the JB (unless told other wise). Influences id say definitely Metallica(what i play most, but emg's r too expensive), Van Halen, Led Zeppelin. I play alot of clean stuff so i dont want too much bass or mid so it dosnt sound so dull.

since i hear dimarzio singles are great if u can even suggest a dimarzio humbucker that would suit my needs please tell me.

Dimarzio always suits my needs, except for always. Despise the name.
 
Re: So I've decided on the humbucker

would it be smart to get a single coil humbucker for the neck a regular single coil for the mid and a JB for the bridge
 
Re: So I've decided on the humbucker

For VanHalen and Zep, Id go with a CC instead of the JB, but tha't just my personal opinion. Vintage Staggered is a good choice for th middle position, and the JBjr neck model is really nice in the neck position for clean and dirty.
