neck pickup help for my style!
« on: July 19, 2009, 09:55:03 PM »
ok, I have a dimarzio tonezone in my bridge, and have used BK's before (my personal fav...just ant find a bridge for this guitar close enough to a tonezone).

Anyway...I want a neck pickup, something to play instrumental music, mainly used for lead passages.  sometight and tracking and percussive while alternate picking, with enough mids to stand out and be loud.  I am playing a usa dean ml with ebony board, spalt maple top.  I like neck styles of john petrucci, that super percussive, loud, bubbly clear neck tone.

also, if anyone could help witha birdge?  I was considering nailbomb, maybe alittle hotter with more honk and ow mids?

I like dark, fat punchy hot bridge pickups, with rolled highs to eliminate any amp sizzle or sharpness, all used for lead styles...NEED SUSTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
