Title: Smooth Neck Pickup Recommendation
Post by: merritt stone on January 04, 2011, 04:26:57 AM

Hey guys, I'm going to get some BKP's for the first time and was hoping you could help me out.

I'm looking for a geed neck pickup that has s smooth high end for distorted leads and can handle jazz cleans well.

The woods on the guitar are:
Black Limba body, Walnut top
Wenge neck with maple fillets
Ebony board

The bridge pickup I'm getting is going to be the Rebel Yell.

Thanks :D
Alex

Cold Sweat for me, maybe go with the RY set?

Thanks for the input Frank666.  I think I'm going to go with the calibrated set of Rebel Yell's.

Anyone else's opinion is always welcome :)

VHII neck should be on your list!

Yep, either the Rebel Yell neck or the VHII would do you well. The VHII is a little leaner and more scooped, but still very smooth.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I was going to ask for your advice on SS.org, but now I don't need to :D

I've listened to some samples of the VHII and it seems to classic rock tone for me.  I am definitely going with the RY set unless someone else has any hiddin wisdom :)

What about the Mule and the Abraxxas?

the miracle man neck is very smooth and compressed

the rebel yell neck is supposed to be similar to the cold sweat neck, so it should be great
