Hi everyone!
I recently got this baby in my hands,neck and body are in A++ condition but the guy who had it before me didn't actually played on it very much so I it has that annoying rust on pickup bobbins.
I am not really satisfied with stock V8 pickup on a bridge,and I would like to change it.I have singlecoil S1 in middle and I have this ooooooold old DiMarzio humbucker in neck position but I have some big problems identifying it...
I took it out to see is there any model indication on it,but there is no that familiar "DP XXX" engraved on it.It only says:"
Dimarzio Pickups.Made In USA".
Pickup looks like
Super Distortion,it's black and has that Super Distortion - like bobbins.God knows what could it be.
Anyways,I want to change my pickups.
I am mostly playing metal,and I need good combination you could reccomend me that works fine in 1570.
What I want from pickup is to be good for soloing primarily.
It's important for me that it has very good harmonics(i am using a lot of pinch harmonics and stuff),to have screaming,but tight and expressive sound.
In neck I like it to be more bassy like,with more chunk,good for sweep picking and faster scale runs.
I am mostly a legato player,so I would need pickups that have a good clarity and harmonics when doing it.
I already have the Tonezone(bridge) / Air Norton(neck) combination on my second RG,and I am satisfied with it,but I am also looking forward to try something else that works good...so I'll appreciate any suggestion.
That combination sounds slightly dark,and I get really fat and chunky sounds with it.TZ is a great pickup,btw...in my guitar it sounds fat but also has excellent harmonics.Something I didn't expect from such a dark sounding pickup
Maybe it is a bit darker than I prefer,but that's probably because I use "darker" EL84 powered amp.Even Fender look dark through one of these babies... :-)
In middle I would like to have a vintage like single coil that I would use only for cleans and clean chording...it's important that it's hum cancelling.
thanks!;-)
