What's up guys! Got a non-Jackson ?? for ya. I'm in the process of pulling my Les Paul out of mothballs, and have found that the bridge p'up has gone bad. So now I'm looking for replacement pickups (both bridge and neck). Being an Anderson pickup fan, I tried an H2+ & H1- combo, but with less that satisfactory results. As much as I love the mid-range 'bite' that the H2+ has in my Jackson's, in the Les Paul it makes that big chunk 'o Mahogany sound like mud city [img]graemlins/puke.gif[/img] .
I am looking specifically for a somewhat vintage 'classic rock' tone. Nothing too over the top, bite w/ a nice aggressive 'kick' when pushed. Think Alex Lifeson on the first 2 Rush Cd's, but a little less brittle in the high end. I was thinking about just going w/ Gibson p'ups, but I've heard some not-so-great things about them. What about the Duncan customs? I've never played them, but I've heard good things. Dimarzio's??? Anyway, what do you guys think? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!
