Title: Reccommend me some Pickups
Post by: Morgray on July 29, 2007, 05:00:44 AM: I play an Ibanez RG2550EGK, so its a basswood body, H-S-H layout, but i really don't use the single coil at all, so I'm looking for humbuckers. I play Death Metal, and Power metal, (mostly power metal) so i like a lot of gain and high output, but i also like nice fluid leads and arpeggios, plus nice clean tones on the front pickup. So I use teh bridge pickup for lots of palm mutey type stuff with tons of pinch/natural harmonics, and the front pickup for sweeping and shredding, so far I've been thinking miracle mans, please give me some advice! Thanks

I would definetly rather a warpig in the bridge, but how do painkillers compare to warpigs? and if I do decide on a warpig in bridge what should I put into the neck?

For the neck, the Cold Sweat is the usual choice for the sound and style you're after and despite the power difference, I understand that they can work well together.
