Recommendations for progressive rock/stoner? (ibanez SZ520QM)

[Dave Sloven]

I wonder if they can do a HB size Pig 90 neck pickup for you?  I don't know if a Pig 90 can manage a clean tone but overdriven it would probably be amazing

I'm sure they can as Tim told me he could do any of the P90 pups in a humbucker size but the Supermassive sounds like it would be a good match to me.

I dare say that the Supermassive is the closest in output while still retaining a true clean tone, otherwise Ben would have recommended the Stockholm neck.

Well, he actually told me to order a Stockholm but add "humbuckersized supermassive p90" in the comments box, so it seems like you really know your Ben. :)

I had a set made a long time back that was an C-Pig bridge and Mississippipig neck. It was a bit full on and if I did it again, I'd probably just have gone for the straight MQ neck.

So i hooked up the supermassive and no problems there.

But the thing is with installing the warpig - its got one more wire than the one I replaced. I don't know where to solder the south finish (white).

The pickup selector is a weird story with twelve connections on the back. I first thought that I would just swap out the old Duncan, but what to do with the south finish?

Do I just hook it up together with the north finish (green)?

EDIT:

I hooked it up according to the "standard humbucker installation principles" without split coil but the warpig sounds weak and brittle. I noticed that the magnetic field is much stronger on the row of bolts closest to the bridge - should i turn it around? Could it be something else?

I've included a pic of the wiring as it was done before swapping the mics out. The original pups only have three wires + gnd.

The other pic is of the pickup selector. If there's anyone with experience with this model, please advice. I thought it would just be to wire the P90 according to the drawing and then swapping out the bridge HB, but it's probably not that simple..

Problem solved. :D

I just spoke with Ben from BKP and he recommended me getting a supermassive HB-sized P90 instead of the MQ since the outputs match better. I'm gonna give it one more thinkabout before ordering but it's most likely the combination I'll go for.

I'd go with Ben's advice.  I've had some conversations with him regarding P-90s before and I know he is a big fan of the Supermassive. It strikes a good middle ground between the MQ and the Stockholm, giving you more bottom end than the MQ but better cleans than the Stockholm.  I ended up being recommended the Stockholm bridge in a P-90 size but only when I said I wanted to use a Nailbomb as the back up.  If I had a two-pickup SG to put these in I think he would have recommended a Supermassive for the neck even with the Stockholm in the bridge.

A  combo that is my absolute favorite for anything somewhat modern or agressive rock. Where the RY becomes a bit light or lacks that all out feel I use them. Go from Blink 182 to Machine Head. Big, agressive, roaring, tight, modern but with a hint of old school, etc...lovely. Anyhow you did a much better job of describing the Stockholm. Would love to see you write up a review....same goes for littleredguitar! ;)
