Hey folks,
I finally got a good tube amp to use and I absolutely love the sound of my BKP pickups in my guitars! I'm especially very, very fond of my Painkillers I have in my Ibanez RG Prestige (Basswood body).
I have an RGA121 (Mahogany) that has Dimarzio X2N in the bridge, and tonezone in the neck. I wanted to get a BKP setup that has a similar tone (Beefy neck tones, and gritty bridge). Although I love my painkiller setup in my other guitar, I wanted to maintain the nature of the tone I have in my Mahogony Ibanez. The painkillers don't have that low-mid warmth that I want to maintain. The way I describe it is that the painkiller sounds more cold, and less brown.
With all that considered, I was wondering what my best option would be for my mahogany Ibanez. Although the C-pic seems right up my alley in terms of still having a very aggressive sound like the painkiller and sounds more "brown", less cold, etc. I think the lows in the C-pig would sound too dark in my mahogany guitar. In fact, the reason why I want to change my current setup is because my tube amp made me realize how dark my mahogany ibanez sounds.
Would a painkiller in the bridge and C-pig in the neck be a good option?
