  • Japanese RR3 w/ hb108's, pickup mods consensus?

    Swap for passive Seymours? Mod with AlNiCo 8 mags? Install actives? Leave as-is?

    I've been preaching the DiMarzio Tone Zone/Air Norton combo since first trying them.
    I find the TZ bridge has a nice mid-range snarl that cuts well.

    I'm far from pickup knowledgeable, though.
    What type of music?
    Rhythm or lead? Both?
    96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.

      I've got an Evo2/PAF Pro combo in my KE3 that sounds great. I like the Tone Zone a lot too, but I only have one in a basswood guitar and have no idea what it would sound like in an alder-bodied axe...

        I have a JB in the bridge of my KE3 and I really enjoy it.
        I also have the HB-103b/102n in my KVX which I thought I was going swap for a JB as well in 5he bridge but I'm actually enjoying them a lot.
        The heavier stuff sounds great on my Kelly with the JB and I keep the KV in E standard as I've found that the pickups do that thrash sound very well. Metallica, megadeth etc...
