That was quite the topic name right there!
Anyway, hi I'm James, I'm new to the forum, this is my first post. I DEFINITELY intend on sticking around aswell, I'm not gonna be one of them noobs that take your advice and go away, then come back for more help!
Anyway I'll get to the point. I'm seeking advice on what pickups I should get (both neck and bridge) for my BC Rich Zombie. It's mahogany, and to be quite honest I don't understand all this business about quilted maple tops and all that. But I know the top isn't a solid colour. And I know the top will contribute towards to the tone. I apologise if I'm talking absolute cr@p here.
I'm looking for a smooth sort of tone, something that won't make my solos and picking sound really... I don't even know how to describe it.. It's hardly a lack in gain or anything.. But.. I don't know... I guess it's just the MARSHALL I play through :P
I currently have a DiMarzio X2N in the bridge at the moment, and I don't think it's quite cutting it. And yes I know I can buy various pedals and that, but I'm trying to keep away from pedals as much as possible.
Oh yeah, I never mentioned, the music I play is obviously metal (with a BC Rich, I doubt it's anything else!)
And that's my post of rubbish for you all.
Again, my apologies if I'm talking cr@p, any help is appreciated.
James.
