Just picked up a new Ibanez RG2228m & am looking for a pickup suggestion. Today I swapped out the terrible EMG's it comes with for a set of Dimarzio DActivators. They're not bad, but I would describe their low end as…… a little slow. Looking for something a bit tighter / faster in the bass department. For those that aren't familiar with this particular guitar, It has a basswood body, maple neck w/ wenge strips & maple fretboard, fixed bridge that is post mounted, not string through. Due to the maple fretboard, the guitar has a noticeable amount of natural attack compared to the same guitar with a rosewood board. The sound I'm going for is basically exactly what Modern Day Babylon is doing, though I know they use Painkillers in the bridge & Cold Sweats in the neck, they also play Skervesen guitars with different woods / construction than my RG. From the research I've done, it seems like a set of Cold Sweats might be a good call, but I'd like to get some opinions first!
