Iggy and the Stooges Tone

[smashing_chains]

Just wondering what pickups would give the best kind of search and destroy tone. Got a Gibson SG special going through a big muff pi and into a mesa/boogie f-30.

Cheers

I'm not familiar with the Search and Destroy tone but these days it's all P90's.

Definitely a Single coil of some kind, I would have thought. Whilst the tone is very grind-y, and a little swampy, there's a definite SC "edge" on most of the Stooges stuff.

Just what I found could be wrong but it says they used a les paul http://men.style.com/theupgrader/living/70s-guitar-solos/The-Stooges-Search-and-Destroy

Raw Power is a mix of that Strat and the LP custom, Search & Destroy sounds like the LP on most of the rhythm parts and the Strat on the leads.

Amps were AC30s pinned with an occasional fuzz kicked in.

For a LP of that era, you'd be looking at Emeralds. Having tried the Emeralds, I'd say they will do the job perfect.
