Title: Need help choosing the right humbucker
Post by: the47 on April 06, 2013, 10:28:32 AM

Hi, I've recently bought an Ibanez RGD 2127Z http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/u_eg_page13.php?data_id=101&color=CL01&year=2013&cat_id=1&series_id=149 (http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/u_eg_page13.php?data_id=101&color=CL01&year=2013&cat_id=1&series_id=149)
and want to change the factory pickups to something more ballsy

I've nearly decided on the ceramic NB or the MM pickups, but then went into the "applications" of these pickups and other pickups (as well as read the description) and now am really confused.

I want to play groove metal/nu metal and maybe some death
looking for a precise bass and harmonic rich highs...
I will be looking into the open coil versions of pickups as the closed ones may not fit the guitar

Thanks to all who can shed some light

It looks like you need Miracle Man badly....

I never heard PK personaly but it´s on same side as AM (had one) extremely tight and uper mid crunchy and litle bit dry in therm of saturation...MM is just fatter and meaner...
