Hi!

what is the best bridge pickup for a ibanez rg , with basswood body?

i play metal, heavy metal, rock.

I will use alot drop C, D.

Have a look at Nailbombs, specially the ceramic version. They're quite versatile and do metal very well.

You would do well to look at a pickup with a double row of screws for the bridge pickup
It gives a great low end  and low mid emphasis that basswood guitars often lack

Having put a warpig in Afghan Dave's RG and it was awesome or a ceramic warpig would be nice
Look also to the Aftermath too - would work well.

I just fitted a custom pickup Tim did for me a number of years ago in a basswood 1990 Jap strat and it is fab
Was a miracle man but made with a double row of screws but it sounds awesome - although I tend to venture no lower than drop D tuning wise

I have an Aftermath in one of my RG1527s & a Holy Diver in the other.  I like them both a lot, not sure which is the "best" though the Aftermath is certainly tighter.

I have used a Miracle Man and a Black Dog in an ibby RG. The Miracle man sounded awesome in there for what you seek, and I've heard others play with C-Pigs in RGs which also sounded brutal.

Hope this helps,

What about painkillers?

it seems that the nailbomb has to bass from the clips that i've heard in youtube.

I want some definition, not a huge amount of bass and low mids, of course i like to have a tight bass response.

Ive tried both the Miracle Man & the Aftermath

both work amazingly well
