Title: neck pickup help for my style!
Post by: fatbagg on July 19, 2009, 09:55:03 PM

ok, I have a dimarzio tonezone in my bridge, and have used BK's before (my personal fav...just ant find a bridge for this guitar close enough to a tonezone).

Anyway...I want a neck pickup, something to play instrumental music, mainly used for lead passages.  sometight and tracking and percussive while alternate picking, with enough mids to stand out and be loud.  I am playing a usa dean ml with ebony board, spalt maple top.  I like neck styles of john petrucci, that super percussive, loud, bubbly clear neck tone.

also, if anyone could help witha birdge?  I was considering nailbomb, maybe alittle hotter with more honk and ow mids?

I like dark, fat punchy hot bridge pickups, with rolled highs to eliminate any amp sizzle or sharpness, all used for lead styles...NEED SUSTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

the neck version of the miracle man has a similar voicing and output to the tone zone
and it works pretty well in the bridge too

Is the neck MM ceramic or AV?
