Best Neck Pickup For Sweeping


Any opinions on the best neck pup for sweeping runs and other shred/neo solos. I'm speaking humbuckers here. I like my Evo a lot, just wondering about others

Tone Zone is good for sweeping and so is the Blaze pickup.

I love the Dimarzio Virtual Vintage PAF neck. Amazing clarity even in the lower registers and never muddy. I actually put this set in my ernie ball axis and have never turned back.

I've just fitted TZ/AN into my RG550 LTD. I am very very very impressed with the both pickups. Air Norton is incredible for sweeping, also legato is a breeze with it

Re: Best Neck Pickup For Sweeping


HS3,YJM,par paf,air norton,HFH,fred,super 2 all of these are excellent for sweeps but i found the most versitle is the air norton
it does the sweeps great but also sounds great split and clean
I install mine with the stud poles toward the neck and when a coil tap it the single coil mod sound very YJM like(YJM pup)

Re: Best Neck Pickup For Sweeping


Thrash, it would be great if you could describe your setup, guitar and favourite tone references in detail...

Then we can narrow it down to a T for you.

IMO, a Breed neck is fab in a basswood 24 fretter, but its slightly muddy in a mahogany 22 fretter. And a Tonezone in neck doesn't help when you have a dark tone to begin with. PLUS! If you like... Vai's neck tone, i don't see how I could reccommend something like a... say, PAF Joe for you.
