Swapping my pu's (comment my choice)


Ok... I'm swapping my Ibanez pu's since that's the only thing lacking on my guitar... If I swap them the only difference between my RG550EX and a JEM would be neck profile.. But the JEMs and Super Wizard neck profile are only different..you can't say one is better... :P And I like the neck on my guitar.

Anyways so I've been thinking about getting a Bill Lawrence XL500 for bridge position... Seems to be similar to Duncans, I think I heard someone compare the XL500 with a Duncan JB(which I've heard good things about) but more balanced... Which should be good thing since I've heard many comments on the JB being to harsh... Actually I'm not too used to that word but isn't like a little sharp/trebly or something...

So a hardrocking bridge pickup... But then I want it to tone over a bit...
I want the neck pickup to sound good clean... Pretty sharp almost acoustic sound... Would be nice if it sounded good both clean and disted...

Heard good things about both DiMarzio PAF Pro and Seymour Duncan '59...
But differences? Which would be better for what I'm looking for...

And also 2 things... Would these pu's "fit"(sound good) in a basswood body? I've heard some people using them but in a different guitar...

If you know anything about the pickups. Please help me out
