Guitar in question: Ernieball Musicman JP6.
Problem: I'm getting bored with the whole scooped mids thing in the bridge. The Steve's Special was nice when i was still after that early Petrucci tone. Now, I'm sort of after tonal size and serious chug. I don't really like compression, as i find that sort of reduces your tonal footprint. For the neck, I need something fat, yet clear, since the stock neck pup (based on an air norton) isn't really working. The guitar, being a 24 fretter, already closes up the tone a bit, unlike a 22 fretter.
So, good experiences in the past have been on the Nailbombs. I remember Tim recommending Holydivers in the past for a warmer tone than the NB bridge. I'm open to ideas now, as I'd like to salvage this guitar into something I really want to play all the time. the feel and vibe is perfect. The pickups are the final issue.
I don't play much metal, mostly rock. Output isn't really an issue. Alnico is preferred.
Rebel Yells?
