PJ pick-up quistion

edited August 2005 in Musicians and Gearheads
I am looking to put new pickups in my electric and the only thing i really have read any thing about were dimarzios.

Just wondering what pickups PJ (or anybody else you like) uses and if dimarzios are good pickups.

Distorted-- i play rocky bluesy stuff, not nessacarily(?) Pearl Jamish, sometimes it does have a resemblence though

Clean-- i play a reggea kindof chord progressions stuff and some mexican sounding stuff

ANY help at all would be wonderful , THANKS.

    a cheap washburn , i like it though, i was gonna get a Gib sg standard but my parents wre gonna buy but i need a new acoustic more so ima get an acoustic instead and let the sg be the first guitar i actually buy/ pay for with my own money. so i figured i would just spiff this one up.

    Got standard humbuckers in that? Or single coils? Or a mix of the two?

    I absolutely hate DiMarzio pups, but different strokes...

    Go surf around at http://www.seymourduncan.com for a while, see if anything grabs you there.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    ive got a Seymour Duncan Pearl Gates bridge humbucker in my strat and it sounds great.Ive never used Dimarzio's for some reason but whenever i've had Seymour Duncan pickups i've always been very happy with them.

    Copycat...

    That's my arrangement. Gibson Classic 57 in the neck with chrome cover, and Seymour Duncan '59 in the bridge, open-coil. It's fucking gorgeous tone (and don't look bad, either).

    Gibson Burstbuckers are good, and just about any Seymour Duncan model. Also look at Harmonic Design: http://www.harmonicdesign.net Kent Armstrong: http://www.kentarmstrong.com and Lindy Fralin: http://www.fralinpickups.com I'm sure there are other suggestions worth checking out, but they go up in price significantly from there, and may not be worth it for a "cheap Washburn."

    Put a Paul Reed Smith HFS in the bridge and whenever you use your wah it will sound very much like Mike's lead wah tone.
