Hi guys,
This is a quick one, I ordered a Tonerider Rocksong for the neck on my partscaster project. Sadly, the courier lost the package; however, amazon refunded me and told me to place a new order. Sadly, the Rocksong is out of stock, which made me think about getting the Alnico II Classics.
I was between those two at the beginning and chose the Rocksong from advice in a forum. I like the sound of both (on youtube) and I want to put one in the neck of my partscaster to get more sustain, more power (than my single coil) and a sound similar to Slash (if possible). Here's what it says on their website:
Rocksong: "The neck pickup is smooth and sustainful - perfect everything from jazz to distortion saturated rock."
AC2 Classics: "At higher gain settings, the Alnico II Classic really nails the fluid distortion sound of players like Slash, who use the smooth attack and longer sustain of the neck to great effect during solos,"
They both have similar "hotness" (DCR) and very similar inductance. I have a no-name hot humbucker on the bridge, similar to the Generator on DCR, which I may chose as a replacement if I like this one.
What do you think? Have you tried those pickups?
Cheers,
Walter
P.S. If you live in Zürich and want to get together and jam, send me a PM.
