Hi there,
I replaced the stock Mojo pickup in the bridge position of my Eggle 96 with a Rebel yell a while back. I changed it as the stock was way too dark for my taste. While the rebel yell is far better, its still a little on the dark side. Although I really do like the pickup over all, I really would like a similar pickup with a bit more top end bite . The guitar in question has a p90 in the neck position which might also be up for a swap out to something a bit brighter. The guitar has a swamp ash body with myrtlewood top (only about 5mm thick) and a roasted maple neck and I play a whole manner of music mainly based in the rock world.
The one change I'm going to make as the pickup is direct mounted Is to add a pickup ring so I can adjust the height easier, also I think I prefer it from a cosmetic view. But I used to have an emerald in an old guitar and really liked that. Also considering the VHii. I tend to prefer a lower output pickup, as I like the dynamic range more. I also prefer the clean sound of the and like letting the amp do the work when the gain is applied. I think this comes from mainly playing Strats and Les pauls with paf style pups. But the Eggle 96 was bought to cover the rockier side of things.
Any suggestions would be a great help.
