Pickup advice please
Hi guys
 Just tried the Gibson 490T with a Alnico 5 mag in the brigde. To loud and a little to bright and modern. I had a Gibson Burstbucker Pro before the 490T but the BB lacked output and was a little to muddy so i guess i would wan´t something in between. The Burstbucker Pro reads 7,96kOhm and the 490T 13,96kOhm still the kOhm reading doesnt say everything about ouput.. The pots are Gibson stock i´m getting RS Guitarworks kit this summer, not sure if i´m going for the modern or vintage kit. And i´m also getting a Peavey Windsor Studio all valve amp. For the moment i´m stuck with a multi effect pedal  shit eqiupment but better than nothing at all...So based on that please, post thousands of suggestions Take care

Re: Pickup advice please
maybe try a seymour duncan alnico II pro. not sure what the output is, but to me, its great for classic stuff, but also modern.

I was thinking alnico IIs also, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm no pickup expert and I'm not a fan of any of these pickups. I tend to use seymour duncan jazz in the neck and then a nice high output pickup in the bridge, but it appears that you don't want a terribly high output pickup. |
