TRBboy Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hey there! Thanks for the offer of help - I need a sounding board! I was going to put an Aguilar OBP2 I've got in the RBX, but I think I'd rather keep it passive now. Gonna replace the pickups but I can't decide what to go for. Don't want to spend silly money - looked at the Kent Armstrongs from WD Music but not sure that they'll hit the spot. I like a nice, full powerful sound, and I'm leaning towards the Dimarzio Model P/Js at the moment. Considered SD quarter pounders too, but I've got them in my jazz so I'd like something different I think. Any suggestions? I'm gonna strip the wiring out and start again but can't decide whether to go VVT or 3-way toggle. Might depend if I can find a decent toggle with a longer thread!

lettsguitars Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 i'd sway towards vvt, although my pickup man is talkin varitone for the future. no tone pots. i'd never touch controls whilst playing and i think caps are maybe the way forward for tone, for us anyway. i don't have a lot of experience with a lot of pups but i do use kent armstrongs which i think have a nicely balanced tone. we make our own pickups now like, scatterwinding is the best! there's nowt wrong with passives mate.
