Hi all,
I have a collection of 15 guitars and after much deliberation I've finally decided which of my guitars to replace the pickups on.
I've chosen my Jackson PRO Monarkh SC in Trans Purple Burst (http://"https://www.jacksonguitars.com/gear/shape/monarkh/pro-series-monarkh-sc-ebony-fingerboard-quilt-maple-top-tobacco-burst")
Anyways, I'm thinking of having a Ragnarok and Juggernaut combo but I still have a few questions:
1. I mostly play with the guitar through the bridge position and wondered if there's any way to make the neck pickup sound like it's in the bridge position, so i can have either sound at the flick of a switch?
2. Do you see any issues with my choice of guitar for the swap? The Blackout pickups will be put into another of my guitars, perhaps my Jackson Demmelition King V (http://"https://www.jacksonguitars.com/gear/artist-platform/demmelition/x-series-signature-phil-demmel-demmelition-king-v-pdx-2-rosewood-fingerboard-red-with-black-bevels")
3. Are there any special considerations I'd need to make, like new electrics etc?
Thanks

1. You won't be able to make neck pckup sound like bridge.
2. I think it should be just fine.
3. You'll need new pots etc. if you are running actives.

Thanks for the reply.
So, since I rarely use a neck pickup I'd basically be wasting a pickup putting it in that position & I'd be better off putting each pickup in a different guitar?

Probably, just make sure you get bridge pickup for both in that case (not a set).

Best bet would be to put in a dark bridge pup and a bright neck pup to even the tone a tad.
