I'm building a 6 string guitar, and I'm trying to figure out what sort of pickups to get. I'd have it primarily in the D-Standard area, as far as tuning goes, so I'm looking for a pickup that won't get muddy. A ton of output is NOT necessary. The sort of distorted sound I'm going for is a combination of Byzantine, Protest the Hero, Persefone, and Ne Obliviscaris. Something that has a lot of clarity in the tuning I mentioned earlier. Good cleans are a must, somewhere between glassy and warm.
For those who are interested, the body wood for the guitar will be basswood with a flamed maple top.
My current candidates are the Duncan JB+Jazz/59, Dimarzio Illuminators, and Dimarzio Titans. I'm somewhat worried that the JB may have too much output, but that's only based off of word of mouth. I'll accept any recommendations from you guys, as long as it isn't BKP, since I don't have the cash to throw around for that.
