I've recently bought myself a brand new toy to play with, It's an Ibanez RG652ahmfx (silly old Ibanez names) While I'm very very happy with the guitar, Aesthetically and playability wise. The pickup's on this Guitar leave a lot to be desired unfortunately.
The Guitar has an Ash body with Maple neck & fretboard and comes stock with Dimarzio pickup's: Tone Zone in the bridge and Air Norton in the Neck.
I'm finding myself constantly battling with the flubby low end that these pickup's give out.
I'm a Self confessed Guitar whore but when it comes to pickups i don't have much experience with different models. In the Past I've used pickup brands such as EMG, Bareknuckle and Seymour Duncan.
I'm looking to replace these pickup's with something high output but not extreme, with a good amount of mids and bass and no Ice picky Highs. Over all though they must have a very tight bass response, clarity across all strings and an aggressive voicing for the music i like to play. I mainly play in Drop C and go for a Modern metal sound (Periphery's 6 string songs come to mind)
Just wondering if anyone call help point me in the right directions with advice.
Also id like to be able to get the pickup's with chrome/nickle covers.
Thanks for any help.
