Hey fellers I'm new to this forum and really happy to be here, here is a question :
is there any one who has got a Juggernaut calibrated set on Ibanez RG series with basswood body ?
can you please share with me your experience !

What do you want for that guitar? Why styles do you play, what tones do you like?

My playing style is Progressive metal, I look for versatility in my new pickups so that I able to span a multitude of different sounds within one guitar, going from massive overdrive, very tight, rhythmical and aggressive to more expressive, dynamic and very liquid when I'm playing solos.
and also for bridge : does this items, increases midrange punch, bumps the highs up a notch, and tightens the lows, also this is our band page you can listen to our premier song from our upcoming album which is called: The Wind Of Ailanthus

Juggernauts are very tight and quite high output. What I like about them is how multi - purpose they are. They excel at cleans, rhythm, and lead playing with the pickups never becoming shrill when playing higher up the fretboard. (yes, BOTH pickups do great clean tones)
They have plenty of bite but I would say the high end is sweet and it purrs. The neck pickup does do liquidy solos and the bridge pickup is thick and violin like for solos while being crunchy, tight, and aggressive for rhythm. I'm going to guess your RG is a less phat sounding guitar than my Redline III so I'll bet that it won't get quite as huge sounding, which seems to be what you want.
The only question for me is whether or not you'll get along with the voicing of the pickups. It's really modern with more of an emphasis on the low mids, even if there is a lot of mids in general. It's really hard to know how it will compare to what you have already, but if you use a 550k volume pot directly to the output on the guitar, you should get plenty of bite and treble!

Well actually I try to have an open mind in playing the guitar, music composing, creating guitar tone... etc, and trying to blend my progressive metal Ideas with some dreamy and spacey atmospheric clean tone that coming from D-jent, So my Ideas + John Petrucci + Misha mansour with integrating my own taste into that for making our music, not to say I had Crunch-lab & LiquiFire Bridge was so boomy, flubby, and too much bassy for me, it simply take some days to get that this sort of guitar is not suitable for the guitar I have, SO I immediately decided to go for BNK Pickups !

Email BKP and ask them that they recommend but I'm thinking you'll really dig the Juggernauts. They're plenty phat but the lows roll off before the boomy frequency band.
