Hi output pup recommendation - Ibanez S

[pagan7]

Put a set of Nailbombs on my RGT and they transformed it, from a guitar that played superbly but was sonically nuetered by the Ibanez pups, into a total tone monster.   I don't know if the through neck and mahogany wings add to the difference but I can get pretty much any tone I want...apart from maybe Tele like jangle. I did have to take a drill to the body and add a couple of extra pots for insependant pup tone and volume though....well worth the sweat when I first put the sharp pointy drill up against the body finish  :roll:
No question....Nailbombs Rule

My Ibanez came with quantum pickups the QM1, S1 and QM2 - which isn't what yours came with is it?
Anyway the nailbomb added a lot of clarity, definition, articulation, but i wouldn't say it tightened up the sound at all. The Quantum pups are ceramic as far as i know, so werealready very tight. The Nailbomb has a far stronger midrange, which really brings out the best in the S, and like pagan said - made it Incredibly versatile. It's like it's added a third dimension to my now FAVOURITE guitar.

Well, clarity is the main thing the v1 & V2 p/us need.    And I thank you  guys for the descriptions. I already have a nailbomb, (see quote :lol: ) so it's going in.   Mostly likely getting a  Cold sweat for the neck.   Thanks
