The Pickup Place / Ibanez RG 970 pickups
« on: October 28, 2016, 05:34:58 AM »
Hi guys!
I'm having trouble figuring out which pickups would fit best in my Ibanez rg 970 premium. It has a basswood body with maple top and a wenge neck with bubinga stripes and rosewood fretboard. I'm playing mainly fusion jazz styles, funk, rock and I don't care about high gain too much, but still looking for versatility. Through web research I kinda got a feeling what i want and I believe that AT-1 bridge and 36th paf neck would be a good combo for me. Does anyone know maybe how would these two behave in this wood combo? Also I have no idea what mid pickup should use with these, I want to avoid drastic volume drop and hum but retain good straty guthrie like sounds for funk and leads in positions 2,3 and 4. I was thinking maybe a true velvet or vv54pro, or maybe even cruiser, but i don't know how are it's split sounds. I'm also open to other suggestions for the bridge/neck combo for my style and guitar. I had an air norton neck pup in my previous ibanez rg, but i didn't like it's character.
Thank you for your help!
