PwoperErased Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm starting ordering parts to customise a Dean EVO XM I've had for a little while and just need a hand. I'm putting some Gotoh 510 machine heads on and I'm thinking of putting in an MBK3 for the Bridge pickup, and either a Seymour Duncan Hot P90 in the neck or a Bare Knuckle Mississipi Queen Nickel in the neck but I don't know which. Thoughts? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PwoperErased Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 But seriously, What kind of sound are you looking for? And what amp do you use? I'm looking for a really nice , bassy growl from the bridge pickup and for the neck pickup, I would want it to have a really clear , nice clean sound that has some nice mids and for the neck when on distortion, I'd want a kind of punk-y , dirty kind of sound, but that does depend on the amp somewhat. I've got a Laney head and Hartke Cab, but I have a Spider III aswell somewhere which probably would give me a good tone. The only thing with the Line 6 , is having so many inbuilt effects in the amp can make the sound a bit processed I've found , which is why I stick to head and cab .

I assume your guitar has humbucker sized pickups? Yeah, at the moment I have two stock Dean humbuckers in there. They just don't give a deep bassy/punchy or growly tone or have what I'm trying to achieve out of the sound and aren't brilliant versatile , but the bridge dirty and clean setting can be alright .

In that case, the hot P90 wouldn't be the right size for your guitar. But from what you described in that other post, it sounds like the MBK-3 and mississippi queen would be exactly what you're looking for. You might also want to look at the MBK-1 neck pickup. The mississippi queen is an all around great sounding pickup both clean and distorted, but I think the MBK-1 is slightly better at cleans. Sounds a bit fuller I think. Not as cutting with distortion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
