Members iamjethro Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 Peavey Predator Plus with stoptail/string thru bridge. Basswood body. Maple neck and Rosewood board. Looking for classic rock, even some country and blues sound. Nothing to distorted by itself, but can overdrive if the song needs it. Good cleans and crunch. I am not a shred type guy. Will play more of the old Les Paul. SG type parts. Any good suggestions for PUs to fit that desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members iamjethro Posted December 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 H/H setup. Splittableas of now. Would be good to keep that option for onstage instead of swapping guitars for songs as often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 If you are looking at pickups I make, I'd look at either my Lizards or Smokes. They both fit your bill very well. The Lizards are full on vintage paf styled pickups and the Smokes are are a vintage/modern hybrid. I have clips and info at www.bg-pups.com/hb.html Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Members Preacher Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 ^ here's the guy you need to talk to. This. Really hard to beat BG pickups (Norcal_GIT-r) at any price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iamjethro Posted December 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 The control set up is oine volume and one tone with a pull tone control to split the coils of both pick ups. does this make a difference in which of your (nor-cal) pickups are applicable?

Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 Makes no difference. All of my buckers will work with your set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ExiledCrow Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 This. Really hard to beat BG pickups (Norcal_GIT-r) at any price. +1 on that, always been happy with Bryan's work. I also have a Peavey Predator Plus (HSS) that I put a used DiMarzio SuperDistortion in and I've been pretty pleased with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 What exactly is it that you don't like about your current pickups and/or setup. What are you trying to get that you don't have right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members diceman1000 Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 Rose Pickups New Dawns with ALNICO V magnets would fit the bill perfectly as well... can't go wrong with BG either... talk to Ken, user name Rose Pickups o Bryan from BG and forget about off the shelf, "name brand" pickups:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members darkmonohue Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I'm wondering if a Fender neck will fit on the Predator Plus. Obviously, I'm not asking you to take your neck off to try it, just wondering if there was any obvious impediment using the eyeball test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ten56gibby Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 My guess is yes. But that's pretty much under the assumption that most bolt-ons have a Strat shaped neck heel and pocket. I could be very wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan is to making pickups as mother{censored}ing Samuel mother{censored}ing L. mother{censored}ing Jackson, mother{censored}er, is to badassery.

Obviously, I'm not asking you to take your neck off to try it, just wondering if there was any obvious impediment using the eyeball test. Sorry, didn't see this question. The older ones, I am not sure about, but the new Predator Plus has a very different bolt on pattern. Drilling the wholes nay not line up with the length of the neck heel. Need to check it out.

Members Grant Harding Posted January 1, 2011 Members Share Posted January 1, 2011 Have a look at the range of humbuckers that Anderson make. They make incredible pickups and I think the HC series is what you're after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
