Title: Pickup Dilemma
Post by: Transcend on October 04, 2010, 09:59:10 PM

Hey guys i have fitted a CS bridge to my RGD which im not getting on with 100% at first i was finding it too bright then realised that was actually because i didnt alter my amps eq much and my other guitar is mahogany with a MM rather than basswood with the CS so that was a bit annoying.

Now my problem is the actual CS itself i feel its not agressive enough in the mids but i am liking the precision and cut it provides.

Also i want to make my guitars more balanced on the tonal scale in regards to bass and treble as i dont want to have to faff about with the amp after changing guitars between songs.

I am going to stick with the CS for a few more weeks to see if it grows on me.

However if it doesnt what would you guys recommend for a replacement that is equally as precise and tight but more aggressive in the mids and would balance more with the RGA thats mahogany with the MM.

I dont want to go with another MM as im happy with that in the RGA and want the RGD to expand my tonal pallette rather than mirror it with a few differences.

Thanks guys
Tony

Would that work well in a Basswood RG.

Oh yeah i also forgot to say that this guitar will be in D standard/Drop C
