humbucker

    Need some pickup advice, please.

    Not jibing with the OEM strandberg humbucker on my Standard NX 6 Trem. The 2 lower strings sound thin, and a little out of phase, to me. The mids and highs are nice and clear but the bass response is not to my liking. I'm not shredding leads, more of a fusion/jazz/ambient/clean to light...

    New Pickup Recommendations?

    Hi all! Sorry for the long winded post ahead of time lol. I recently picked up a Solar SB1.6 and while I love the feel of the guitar, the pickups leave a bit to be desired, especially in terms of clarity and the mids are scooped. I'm pretty happy with the tone I get out of my 7 string with...

    What is your favorite combo for active neck/bridge humbucker pickups? Looking for recommendations

    Hi there! I am kinda new to this active pickups thing. So far I am happy with the ones I got for my 6 string CGCFAD guitar (EMG 81&85). I've seen there is also a 7 string version but I think I want something different for my 7 string. What I play is heavy chugging riffs on my bridge pickup...

    Weak Sound in Bridge Pickup After Pickup Change

    Hey all, I see this problem all over the internet, but I've either tried everything that gets suggested or OPs rarely follow up with helpful solutions. I changed the bridge pickup in my RG470 to a DiMarzio Air Zone. Before installing it, I installed a DiMarzio pickup cover on it using this...

    [VIDEO] Single Coil, Humbucker, or Both?

    [NEW VIDEO] Thought would do a little video between the difference of single coils and humbuckers with hi-gain material. I used my Squier VM Telecaster Deluxe, modded with Iron Gear Hot Slag Bridge and Rolling Mill Neck pickups, and both of them are coli-split. And I have push-pots on the volume...

    DiMarzio Illuminator Bridge?

    Has anyone used the Dimarzio Illuminator bridge pickup? How does it sound. A used one has come up on a local guitar group at a really group price. And wondering how it is, especially with hi gain and low tunings. I'm currently using a Dimarzio D Sonic. But keen to swap it out and try an...

    Pickups in this BC Rich.

    I've got an old BC Rich that has not been played in a while. I just set it all back up, but I'm very uncertain of what pickups are in here. They're not Seymour Duncan's because I believe they always label their equipment. I've had DiMarzio pickups that weren't marked with anything, so maybe they...

    Dimarzio Pickup Wiring on Ibanez MMM1

    I picked up a used Ibanez MMM1, but the previous user had done some weird mods. They put in terrible hum buckers, and a switch to switch the phase on the pickups. Plus they added push/pull pots to coil split. And both the knobs are volume knobs. But they had wired it in a weird way where if you...

    NPD!: Duncan Jupiter 7 String

    So I got it! ... So, originally I was going to put this in my heavily modded Douglas Hadron bumcaster guitar... But it feels kinda weird to be putting a $160 pickup in a $175 guitar. Plus, the bumcaster is really enjoying the SD Custom 7 that's in there currently. So the other plan is/was...
