Good idea or no? I have a basswood JEM 77FP I stuck a green C-Bomb in (bridge). Spectacular idea that works perfectly with this guitar; tone is otherworldy compared to the Evo. I had everybody in GC Orlando wanting to give that axe a rip. But now I'm gonna replace the neck. I want to stick with the "Vai-aggressive-punchy-ceramic" sound, which after educating myself by combing this forum means a pink Painkiller. My only worry is the sharpness that's possible in basswood, but I probably will stick with it, as long as it balances out the C-Bomb. I don't want any Alnico neck pups. I only own bridge pups from BKP (A-Pig, MM, C-Bomb). I'm new to BKP neck pups, and know of the ceramic AM neck option, but I will take suggestions, especially if there is a soulmate for the C-Bomb. But I'm shooting for the "Die to Live" like tone. Not exact but down that road.
FYI, if it matters, I play an ENGL Invader 150 through an ENGL 4x12 Standard. Decimator noise gate. Nothing else. Style? Everything djent/tech/death/jazz/fusion/classical/prog/Opeth etc, etc, etc.
