Recommend me pickups

metalfiend666 · 03-13-2008, 06:54 PM

I need some pickups for my Squire Sub-sonic. It's a 6 string, maple neck-through, alder wings, rosewood board and a 27" scale. I want to try some Duncans in it.

EDIT: JUST TO BE REALLY CLEAR, I WANT TO TRY DUNCANS IN THIS GUITAR. That means no EMG's, no Dimarzio's, no anything else. DUNCAN PICKUPS ONLY PLEASE!

Blackouts because you might as well get that Dino tone.

EDIT: although personally I'd go for a DSonic.

I vote for EMGz!!!

and for this thread to be in the proper section =P

alder and neck-thru maple you say? JB/ Jazz all the way

. the JB especially, just belongs with that wood combo.

I agree with this but if you're lookin' for some more bite I would look at the Duncan Custom.

Depends on what you're looking for. I've found Rockfield Fatasses to be really great and extremely articulate for a passive design. I LOVE my low end, and I hate razor thin pickups, and the Rockfields have great chunk and thickness yet with enough razor edge to cut through and provide bite.

The EMG 81/85 combo owned in my DK2M (which was alder with an all maple neck), lots of bite and extremely tight. It came stock with JB/Jazz, which was also nice.

I'd put some GFS Crunchy Rails, they are both cheap and good

JB/Jazz, although a Custom/Jazz possibly?
