Title: Pickups For Ibanez PGM 100 JB (paul gilbert blue/pink model 1992)
Post by: helderhalen on October 21, 2011, 12:39:08 PM

Hi Guys

I have a friend that have a Ibanez Pgm 100 and he wants to change those dimarzio pickups for some bare knuckles with more gain.

Hes looking for something that gives that 80s Dokken/Ratt Metal Sound but that can do some modern metal too like symphony x,zakk wylde style basically.

He bought a Randall RM100 with Ultra XL Modules ,what do you think about a Miracle Man for the bridge?
And What pickups do you advice for the neck and ,middle(single coil) position?

Regrets(sorry for my english  )

I've been saving my pennies to do this with my Jewel Blue RG570!

I'm gonna get.

Pink Miracle Man (Black bolts)

Trilogy Suite RWRP SC (pink cover - possibly have to be sourced elsewhere)

Pink MM Neck (Black bolts) = very fluid and high gain or a Cold Sweat of the same spec for a little less gain.

The neck miracle man is good to do clean stuff?

Very much so. It's alnico as opposed to the MM bridge which is ceramic.

It's warm but very powerful.

Most on here know it can sit happily in the bridge. The neck MM is very like a Suhr Aldrich bridge but better.  

I'd be tempted to use it in the bridge if I didn't want the output/tightness of the standard bridge MM with possibly a cold sweat or mule neck.

The MM has more output, the CS will do fluid leads as good. It just depends how much output you want from the neck.
