The Pickup Place / Need for bright bridge DiMarzio humbucker

« on: May 06, 2019, 03:20:18 PM »

Hello guys!
I am building a project guitar. Ash body and neck from Jackson JTX. It is not finished yet. So for testing I put Evo2 in bridge and VVHeavy Blues 2 in neck positions. While I happy with the sound Heavy Blues 2, Evo 2 with this guitar sounds too fat and agressive.
Need bridge humbucker with less output, more dynamic, clear and brighter sound with some single coil bell attack.
I am thinking about PAF Pro, Fred, Mo Joe, Paf 36th, Air Classic or Paf Master. Which one will be better ballanced with Heavy Blues 2? Which one can you recommend? Please only DiMarzio 
I play mostly neo-classical and prog metal. Love Malmsteen and EVH tone.

The Pickup Place / Need help with pickup choise

« on: May 05, 2015, 04:35:21 AM »

Hello everybody! Sorry for my some incorrect English. That is not my main language. So I need some advice.
I've started to building guitar with different parts. Alder Jackson DKMG body and old Jackson JTX neck with maple fingerboard.
I've heavily modified body for fitting this neck and neck humbucker routing for single cloil pup.
I will put a DiMarzio Virtual Solo for neck pup. Love this pickup. It has its own unique sound.
But have some confusion with bridge pickup. I need some slightly bright but not thin with moderate or not too high output humbucker which will match very well with Virtual Solo.
In my other guitars I have Evolution. My favorite pups. But I want something different with less power. More definition but with the same screaming ability.
I am most toward to Mo Joe or Evo 2 (I know it is not so bright, but it is not as dark as Tone Zone)
I play mostly heavy metal and some progressive stuff. What pickup you will recommend?
