Gents,
Two queries on pickup choice (either for a home built Frankenstein or a pricey custom).
1. Bridge Pickup - Was thinking Duncan JB. Kurt Cobain used them, they have a really good reputation as a hot heavy rock/metal pickup and I like the sound of them in all the demos I hear of them. I love the way my Pearly Gates can really clean up from quite a heavy crunch using the vol. knob on the guitar - will this work as well with a JB or is it too hot? Anyone got any other alternatives to a JB?
2. What sort of neck pickup would you want to compliment it? Want something cooler. I currently have a Duncan '59 in the neck which I like but don't see the point in putting the same thing in two different guitars.
