Pickup upgrade suggestions please.

[mantis]

hello all ,
I own a SL3 2006 model with a Orignal Floyd Rose. It has Hot rails in the neck and middle position and a TB4 in the Bridge Position.All Semour Duncan. I find my new 2006 model is darker sounding then my 2005 model. It has the same pickups and everything except the bridge. I want to brighten it up. I want new pickups to help it out of the dark. I find it to be to dark. Something more on the American Strat neck position tone. The Bridge position is ok but I want something meaner. Something like a Distortion or a Screaming Demon.

What do you guys suggest I look into???

Thanks

Dan

The distortion is the way to go for the bridge, the demon is a dark pup. for a strat sound maybe try the vintage staggered or the classic stack plus.

I find it funny when people use dark to describe tone

The Search function and the thousand other threads about "what pickup should I get?".

Yeh, only if it spit out the info you are looking for...........

the Duncan Distortion should do nicely. its basically the JB with a ceramic magnet, which gives it a meaner, more aggressive tone IMO.

either that or an EMG 81 LOL
