My new Jackson

[stardust_au]

Just picked it up today.
Paid $1000 aus
Thoughts ?
It needs a better bridge pickup.
Anyone have a good solution as what to replace it with?
I play metallica, Ozzy, iron maiden etc

Re: My new Jackson

DK-2's get alot of good reviews and the necks are nice. Changing the bridge pickup? what style do you play and what sound are you going for?

As close as i can to Zakk Wylde when playing with OZZY.
I could go with a EMG but that means i have to go active.
Want to get close using passive if possible.

Re: My new Jackson

A Duncan Distortion or Full Shred would be a good choice.

Killer price for that guitar dude!
I can only echo the pickup recommendations, Distortion would be my pick.

Re: My new Jackson

I think a duncan custom custom would do fine.

Re: My new Jackson

How about a Bareknuckle Pickup? the Miracle Man humbucker is designed with Zakk's sound in mind. Plus they are all hand made and sound awesome.

BL L500XL great pickup, and only $50 plus shipping. Get it from the real Bill Lawrance though. Jack.

Re: My new Jackson

Duncan Distortion or Custom.

Re: My new Jackson

Thanks for all the input to my question.
After reading reviews on the net, and here the duncan distortion looks like the one a majority use.
Looks like i will go with it.

Thanks again. Ken

DiMarzio X2N is pretty close to the EMG 81 but even better!

Re: My new Jackson

if you want to have a highoutput humbucker, you should think about the SH-13 Dimebucker as well.
