Since you mentioned Bare Knuckle, I'm going to suggest the Nailbomb bridge. Fantastic sounding pickup, strong midrange, smooth clear highs and clear lows. Extremely versatile as well. Sounds absolutely gorgeous though a good tube amp. For a neck pickup, I'm extremely happy with my BKP Cold Sweat. It's clear and smooth, with a sort of single-coily edge to the sound, but with humbucker power. They also sound absolutely amazing clean.

Can I ask what pickups you use in your 6's and that you're really happy with?

youheardme · 01-12-2008, 05:07 PM

Just the stock ones that come in the RG 2570...
neck pu DiMarzio® IBZ-N (H) neck pu
middle pu DiMarzio® IBZ-S (S) mid pu
bridge pu DiMarzio® IBZ-B (H) bridge pu

They're not like super awesome or anything... nothing to have a party about but they're ok for stock.

Sounds like it could be Blackout territory then. Go listen to Divine Heresy and see if you like that sound.

Yeah that definitely has a prime crunch sound to it. And i guess he mentioned those blackouts will actually fit in the guitar haha.... which is pretty clutch... But with them being active pickups i would still need a hole for the battery?

I think you can fit the battery in the cavity. Not sure though as I have ZERO experience with actives of any type (other than playing).

Although I prefer the sound and feel of passives I've heard nothing but great things about the Blackouts.

I asked a guitar tech and he said if i locked my trem i could put it in there... but i dunno if i wanna do that haha.
