neck pickup recommendation
« on: May 04, 2006, 01:16:46 PM »
Hey guys. I have an RG that i love to play and the bridge pickup that i fitted suits my style perfectly, i wouldn't want to change it. However i don't like the neck pickup, it sounds muddy and dull so i would like to change it.

I have a Dimarzio Air Zone in the bridge of the RG so which pickup would compliment it well? I'm looking for something fat, with lots of clarity and has some punch behind the notes.

I looked at the VHII and the Black Dog and seems to be close to what i'm looking for. What do you think?

IMO, the Crawler/Abraxas neck pup is to die for.  The bridge Crawler is 15k, I think -- not quite as hot as the Dimarzio Air Zone, but the Crawler/Abraxas neck pup (7.6K Alnico IV) should still balance very well against it.

'Course, if you're just getting a neck pup, the one named Abraxas will be slightly cheaper than the one named Crawler, but the same spec! :)
