Aftermath Options List?
« on: April 12, 2012, 07:47:19 PM »
Hi, im going to buy a bridge aftermath for my ibanez rg and i really have no clue about what settings i need. I play very low drop tuned metal if that makes any difference. Sorry if this is an obvious thing, im not that clued up on pickups and im getting desperate for an answer haha.

Heres the list if anyones not seen it already: https://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_94&products_id=291&zenid=aaedf8fdc677794e8d5ffca4e5806c9b

Thanks alot,
Sam

1) 4 Conductor (gives you more options regarding wiring)

2) Short Leg

3) Pick the colour and bolt colour you want. Ifyou want screws, get screws; if you want bolts, get bolt. I'd get the bolts though. They look much cooler. :)

4) If you have a Tremelo get 53mm. If it's hardtail get 50mm

Theres a link on that page which should answer your every question.

The one thing which confuses a lot of people though is Leg Length. Short will usually fit every guitar. Long leg is usually for Gibson guitars which are quite deep. But if you have pickup mounting rings, then short would work anyways. I'ts more for pickups that have a deep boddy and are mounted directly into the guitar, as to the mounting ring.

Also if you are getting a neck pickup too and want to use the ibane 5 way wiring you need to put a request in to have the neck pickups magnets flipping.

Yh very good point there. I think there should be a massive sign saying that on the actual website. The amount of people I've heard who have got really annoyed about this is incredible. But it's true, it's not something most people know.

Screw poles are supposed to put out less low end than hex bolts. Depending on how low "very low" is to you, and how big the strings you're using are, your amp tone, etc, you might want screw poles to keep tighter, more controlled lows.
