Hey guys, what's up?
I've recently had the chance to lay my hands over a really clean, neon purple RG550 DX (1993).
It currently has the stock Ibanez V7/V8 (and a middle single coil) installed in it, and I'd like to upgrade. Initially I was thinking about BKPs but unfortunately, they're extremely expensive.
Some of the bands and sounds I really like (spans across different types of hard rock and metal):
Whitesnake, Extreme, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Alice In Chains, Maiden, Marco Sfogli, Dream Theater, (Lalu - Atomic Ark), Periphery (Periphery 3 album), Nevermore (Jeff Loomis), Textures, David Maxim Micic, Gojira, Intervals, etc'.
I also really dig beautiful split positions 2 and 4 of guitars and find them really useful for clean arpeggio playing.
I do both rhythm and lead playing in my metal band so the pickups should cover both equally.
Originally I've been suggested to go for BKP Ceramic Nail Bomb in the bridge, Cold Sweat in the neck, and Trilogy suite in the middle position since they cover the less modern sounds above and can fit more modern sounds as well.
I'm wondering what will be the dimarzio equivalent of the above? I'm definitely open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks,
Miki
