The Pickup Place / Help with a neck pickup.
« on: March 19, 2019, 11:47:32 PM »
Over the years have run both Duncans and Dimarzios at times but for the last few years have been almost exclusively Duncan. Last year i bought a 2015 Carvin ST 300 with a set of Dimarzios ( crunch lab / Liquifire set). Thought I could make the Liquifier work but hated the Crunch lab as just could not get anything I could use other than full on crunch tones. Pickup for me would not clean up open up with touch like I needed it to so swapped it for a Gravity Storm Bridge. Pleased with the big organic open tones of the gravity storm but in the end the Liquifire is just to hot dark muddy and really does not split well. What I need is a big sounding pickup that holds up well under gain that is articulate and not muddy + will split well.
 I can just drop a Duncan Sentient in and be done with it and have a Duncan set in Zebra of a Becker Perpetual Burn and a floor custom Zebra Sentient on hand but want to see if there is a Dimarzio that will get me where I need to go for the neck. Suggestions guys??

I haven been over here in a pretty good while but am a regular on the Duncan board.  Just picked up a nice carvin DC 600 that has the JP set of a Liquifier in the neck Crunch Lab in the bridge. Liking the Liquifier but that Crunch Lab is WAY to bright and harsh in this guitar. Want to stay with Dimarzios here as been a while since i have run a set in one of my guitars. This one will share the stage with my other 2 Carvin Kiesels. The other pair are a 2017 Kiesel DC 135 with a Duncan Perpetual burn in the bridge and a pair of AP11 Carvins and a 1993 KOA DC 127 running a Dunacan Sentient neck and an Alt 8 Bridge.  I'm thinking AT-1 or maybe a Satur8 in the bridge here but open to suggestions.
 I'm primarily a modern Worship player but run few effects and mostly high gain tube amps using touch and guitar volume to clean up.
Here is a live clip with the KOA DC 127 through by Mesa Subway Rocket running the Sentient/ Alt 8 combo.
