What pickup is next on your list?

I need Rebel Yells in sumfink. Maybe my Jem7VWH is the ticket, but i hope there is enough bass in the RB to work in the Ibanez. Most people use the RY in mahogany guitars.

What sort of amp are you using? 
The Rebel Yell has a really tight bottom so a guitar with a huge bottom is really ideal.  Les Pauls work well (Don't try it with a chambered LP) but I'm sure anything set neck / solid mahogany would be great.

Naturally that is the way to go, but this video says otherwise.

Using a Fractal Axe FXII at the moment, so more amps than i will ever need  :P

That video is definitely an accurate representation of that pickup.  If you want those very bright and even upper harmonics, that's what you'll get with a Rebel Yell.  There isn't much by way of bottom, even in that vid.

my next big purchase is still a gibson les paul custom. but i really dont know what i'll do for pickups. i'm sure i'll keep the stock ones in there for a little while. maybe they will grow on me. i mean, i doubt that highly but i have no idea what BK i'd put in there. i love the stockholms and i know it would work great in the LP but i would like to try something different too. and maybe its worth a shot trying the nailbomb again since it would be a very different set up this time. and maybe even go ceramic instead of alnico

A-Bomb on order!

I'm thinking of doing a Warmoth project over the summer (Or fall) as a grad present.  The goal will be to build something that can is versatile enough to cop some traditional tones but that it is more of a machine for heavier / modern sounds and lower tunings.  Nothing extreme tuning wise but lower than my other guitars, which are in E standard. 
I'm thinking Juggs would work well but we'll see what I want to do when this actually moves head.  So far, I'm thinking either to put an Alder Soloist body with a Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, or to order the Maple Neck / Rosewood FIngerboard and a routed Alder Body blank. 

I also was considering a mahogany neck / mahogany body blank (for Rebel Yells) but apparently Mahogany is a pain in the butt to finish. 

I could get a basswood body (Soloist) / maple neck combo but I hear Basswood is soft and I'd need to do a solid finish.  I'm really thinking I'd like a semi - transparent stain / oil finish / or maybe a satin finish in an off black or cappuccino kind of colour.  Gold hardware and white open bobbins with gold screws.  Double humbucker / wood mounting pickups.

I like the mids.....it's all about the mids, but the bottom end i usually keep down anyway. I will have to email BKP for their view when i get the casharino together.

Yup, the Rebel Yell has a really REALLY tight bass with a huge focus in the mids / upper mids, and very sweet highs.  It particularly likes tonnes  of gain and really works well with the bottom heavy / low mid heavy modern high gain tones.

My issues with the pickup are related to a completely different style / application.

So, I'm guessing you're not into the whole, you know, brevity thing?

Covered in fingerprints (I really should have cleaned it better!), but you get the idea.

[darrenw5094]

Dude...they are EMG. :o

Nobody on here uses EMG or at least admits to it :lol:

Anyway, you already have them, so you need to list your next purchase. You should already be thinking ahead.
