A newbie question about TONE

[THOMO]

+1 Amp.

[DonP]

I have replaced the bridge pickup with a Dimarzio Distortion, and replaced the neck pickup with a Duncan HotRail. Planning on replacing the middle pickup with a HotRail as well. They sound pretty good to me, but I'm looking for a little bit more.

You know, you haven't really said what's wrong with your sound. You've installed a very good set of pickups. What do you mean by "more"?

I saw where someone said something about blocking the tremelo, but I have no idea what that is. Can anybody elaborate? I'm fairly competent enough to do what needs to be done.
Also the guy at GC said that I may want to change out the rest of the electronics as well.

Blocking a trem means putting in some wood or other that prevents it from moving. You won't be able to move the trem any more, but supposedly you will gain tone and sustain.

Other than that, I guess the neck is the next step? I want something that feels like my neck now, but preferably alot better. Any Ideas?

Sounds like you are just trying to find ways to spend money like it's burning a hole in your pocket. Before spending any more money on this guitar, get a real amp like everyone else said. A great amp can make a crappy guitar sound great. A crappy amp will make EVERY guitar sound like crap.

And before you spend any more money on the PS-2 here's and idea - don't. Learn to play, learn to figure out what it needs by asking questions on this forum, and get a good idea of what you want it to do before making any more changes. You got lucky with the pickup changes, but you are starting to go off the path into bad ideas. For the middle pickup, I'd get a regular strat pickup, a vintage rails or a cool rails t get some variety. You'd have a good Iron Maiden axe at that point.
