So i finally got my RG550!
But i don't know what pups yo put in, i was thinkng of a ToneZone in the bridge, what should i put in the neck and center?
Oh and my amp is a Marshall MG15CDR

what about a Air Norton in the neck?

carlos grijalva · #3 10-23-2005, 03:00 PM

made my decision, Air Norton (neck), Blue Velvet (center), and Evolution (bridge). What do you guys think?

Why don't you just stick with the stock ones for now? They're not all that bad. And with a Marshall MG15, changing them probably won't make all that much difference anyway.

Heh, i laughed out loud when you mentioned your amp. No bareknucles are going to make ur tone sound decent with the piece of crap.

Upgrade your amp first, then Id recommend a:

Tonezone Bridge
Blue Velvet Middle
AIr Norton Neck

my preference in my RG550 is Evo neck, Blue Velvet, and either Evo bridge OR Breed neck model in bridge.

hehe, yeah, no argument there about my amp (it sucks). I am getting a Mesa Boogie F-30 later on (wish i had a job).

Definately ToneZone/BlueVeltet/AirNorton. Nobody can argue with that combo.

i agree with amp first. then evos neck and bridge and leave the single coil as is. this is my set up in my 550 and i'll never think about changing it. couldn't be happier with it. every pickup combo is excellent. then again, i've heard some really don't like evolutions, so who knows.

I don't think that the s1 is all that bad.

I do however think that the v7 and v8 are awful.

Paf Pros all the way (neck and bridge). A Blue Velvet in the middle won't hurt, either.

All right now, i need help to decide which amp, since the Mesa Boogie ones are hard to get and very expensieve i was thinking something more simple like a laney, GH100L, or a Peavy. Any suggestions?

depends on your applications...what music do you play and in what setting?
