  • So, High Output Pickups required for Soloist?

    Looking for a Pickup for the bridge of my really bright Poplar MIJ Soloist XL Pro. I tried the Transition- too spikey in this guitar. I tried the AT-1 just tonight, and thats not my bag at all- just belched mids any everything goes into OTT harmonics , again, in this guitar.So I get the idea to try the Breed neck in the bridge of the Soloist.

    First off, I'm very hesitant to use Medium output pickups for a heavy Metal Axe like the Soloist. Is this a rational skepticism? My frist thought is to use a high output pickup- maybe try the Super3 like Collen in his Superstrats.

    Second of all, I LOVE this Breed Neck pickup in the bridge. It says everything I wanted it to say. I had also tried the PATB-3, which warmed up the guitar just beautifully, but there was no low end , like that kind of Les Paul low end presence, but the Breed neck brought that, and although it isn't as amazingly crunchy and warm as the PatB-3, it sings incredibly, and does not have too toppy a high end, and Im just thrilled with it.

    Finally, I am thinking of maybe trying the Breed Bridge in the bridge,because of the higher output. Problem is, I see the Breed Bridge has scads more mids than the Breed neck. I am thinking it will be brighter than the Breed neck..true?

    Now first thing of course is going to be the obligatory schmucks come along saying they use Low output PAF's. I know this is coming, and please don't. Keep it to yourself with that crap.Thanks
    ( those of you who I got off on the wrong foot with, I don't hold a grudge, do you? please save your venomous retorts.)

      Oddly the SDIII works wonders on my RR1


      Another pickup to get some of those highs out might be the SD Custom Custom
      it's not THE highest output P'up, but 'll get the job done

        You don't hold a grudge? Then why did you send me a private message telling me to leave the forum like you own it? In the same message I got to read that "I am an amateur" in your opinion. I am a "troll" and how you're a guitar god with so much experience. How is it you know so much about me when we've never met? If you're so intelligent why can't you find a truss rod wrench that fits your guitar or a good pick up and why can't you adjust a Floyd Rose bridge properly? People were nothing but nice to you when you first joined this forum until you started telling tenured members to leave and making idol threats. I'm surprised anyone's even still commenting on anything you've posted after the way you've disrespected Straycat, DonP, myself and a myriad of other members. Also why don't you try a low output PAF in your guitar. This isn't a "venomous retort" either, it's just the truth.

        This is what I think of Gibson since 1993. I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.
