Members theGhost Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 The budget is on the cheaper side, so nothing crazy expensive. Also, I'd like them to be rather common in the sense that it won't be hard to find them at a decent used price. I won't be able to try before I buy, so if I hate them I wanna know I won't lose much, if any, money. Right now I have a G&L Legacy Tribute with stock pickups, and I actually like them quite a bit. I don't have too much to complain about other than the color of the pickups, and of course I've always wondered how much better I could get if I want to change the color up anyways. I guess I'm looking for pickups that would be considered "rock" pickups because ideally I would love them to have solid cleans and be able to do bluesy stuff really well while still having a decent enough output to handle higher gain sounds without getting muddy. I'm not playing death metal, obviously, but I like to know that I could put it on the bridge pickup and get some heavier tones. FWIW, I have the Duncan Jazz/JB set on my LP and I love them. They're pretty much what I'm looking for in strat form. I know that Jeff Beck has some sig strat pickups as well, so would those be good? Also, what other pickups would be great? I've heard that Hot Noiseless were pretty sweet for their price range, but I wanna have more suggestions as well. Also, a must for me is that the pickups could never be considered not clear and/or flabby. I hate not having a tight bass response and all my pedals/amps/speakers are tailored for that preference. Overall I would say I don't know all that much about pickups and I'm definitely open to suggestion! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nuke_diver Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 IMO your best bet is to PM Norcal_Git_r and ask him. Bryan winds as good a pickup as you can find at a great price and can tailor it specifically to you needs.
