goat Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 The body on my guitar will be extremely small,so I`m looking for a humbucker in the bridge position that will be a little thicker(bassier). Also,what would be a good single coil for the neck? I know it all goes by personal preference,but I`m just trying to get some ideas. Opinions? Thanks for the help This is the guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 what brand are u leaning towards? what kind of style do u play? the 2 big ones (duncan and dimarzio) both have charts for all they're pickups. but here a few sujjestions, dimarzio HB- tone zone, breed, super distortion. duncan HB- invader, trembucker, livewire metal hum, seymourized Based on the Eq charts those are the ones that favore more the Bottom end. As for the single coil in the neck, that's even more open to preference.... could be anything really. but u'll probably want to lean towards "jazz" or the one before that, neck pickups to balance with all the low end in the bridge. GL! happy hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1sh Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Bill Lawrence L500XL is pretty fat on the bottom. super high output tho, I'm not a fan of that. I like low output 'buckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 if you could get a gibson 500t bridge pickup it is really warm and has a great low end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goat Posted August 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Thanks for all the input. I was listening to some of the tone tracs on the Duncan site. So far I like the vintage staggered in the neck position and a SH-11 Custom Custom humbucker bridge. There are no wiring diagrahms for a single neck,humbucker bridge. I think this guitar will sound very punchy beacause of the maple neck-thru.Not much wood on the sides(mahogany). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
