Gimme some nonstandard pup recommendations for the rg350

Dimarzios. its basswood, and dimarzios are inexpensive. and sound better than anything else in silly antipeaky basswood.

HSH config

So i want something different than my usual go-to choices

Bridge:
Evo Bridge, Evo2, X2N, Any Dactivator, Fred, Mo Joe
Middle:
Both Fast Tracks, superdistortion/airnorton/tonezone S, Both HS pups, and the YJM
Neck:
Fred, Mo Joe, Air Norton

Id also like to keep it in the medium and high output ranges please.

Suggestions? How would a norton work in the neck? I like it in the bridge, so maybe ill try that out. also particularly interested in the Super 2. Or an air zone. Gimme your best shot through.

Bridge i was thinking maybe a breed, or a dsonic? again, suggestions.

Middle, lookin alot like a cruiser bridge, or maybe a chopper. Feel free to suggest something though

How about a breed neck/bridge?

Well, honestly, you didn't mention anything about actives... And EMG set perhaps? That could be an interesting change of pace!

Yeah, sticking to passives. I keep trying to go active
not my thing

Go with the Norton in the bridge!

-Dual D-Sonic, bars pointing opposite ways? (two very defined and distinctive sounds), Chopper in middle

-Or, for the real pickup connoisseur (my friend has this setup in one of his basswood RGs, it's a lot of fun if you don't mind mixing brands)

Neck: Humbucker from Hell (Strat sound on steroids, great for fluid lead)

Middle: Single-coil sized Duncan Duckbucker (quacky, funky, great for cleans, adds real versatility)

Bridge: Bill Lawrence L-500XL (very distinctive sound)

I'm a big fan of both, but the second one is a lot of fun in that it gives you a lot of very good sounds to choose from. It struck me as similar to the Music Man Steve Morse guitars in terms of tonal range. Even more so with a coil tap and/or 5-way superswitch.

Be warned, though; the L500XL is pretty tall.

+1 Great combo. Throw a Blue Velvet in the middle and you're set.

some FYI, the Blue Velvet was discontinued in '08

as long as Dimarzio doesn't fuck with the VV Heavy Blues 2, i'm happy.
