So I got a brand new Mark IV 2 weeks ago !!
Now I want new pickups for my mahogany Jackson soloist.
It's currently loaded with stock Seymour-Duncan JB/59' combo.
I'm looking for pups that have a bit more gain and sustain.
I play metal (think Opeth, Dream Theater, Symphony X, CoB ... I'm more of a lead player and I prefer Petrucci and Akerfeldt's tones).
I want to keep the Mark IV's articulate tone and I don't want to lose the cleans !
I'm not afraid to go active.
Here are my options (for bridge position) :
Duncan Distorsion
SD Blackout
Dimarzio D-Activator
Dimarzio X2N
EMG81
BKP Warpig
BG Hellabucker
Anyone tried one of these on a mahogany bodied axe through a Mark IV ? Please comment ! I don't want to try them all ...
I'm also looking for additional suggestions for bridge and neck position as well.
Thanks in advance.
