Hey guys,
I've owned a fair few guitars with some different types of BKP's now, mostly the contemporary range. I've come to the conclusion that my construction of choice is a maple neckthrough with mahogany wings and either a maple or ebony board.
C-pigs seem to work fantastically well in this combination, all the way down to Ab and I couldn't be happier with this bridge pickup.
However, I am starting to tire of the neck 'pig. It doesn't clean up as well as i would like it too and it's too dark and hot for my tastes. I would like something a little cleaner sounding, less output, more high-mids, less lows and just brighter overall. I have tried a cold sweat I had spare and found it was too bright and not high enough output to go with the pig in the bridge (which i do have set very far down).
I'm thinking a painkiller neck might be the go? I don't have one to try out and have only used this pickup in a les-paul type guitar so I'm not sure how it will go. I love lots of mids and for my cleans I run outer-coils of both pickups, or just use the neck in series for a bit more bite/cut.
Any tips would be much appreciated!
Cheers
