"Fizzy" makes me think that brightness is an issue, and as uOpt suggested, a PAF style pickup is just going to be more bright. (Everyone is going to suggest trying something different, and what sounds great for somebody else may not work in your guitar.) And it would be frustrating to just try pickups blindly, not knowing what you'll get. Without a clear idea of what going for, it's hard to recommend anything. it could be that you just don't like the sound of the JP, regardless of what pickups are in it. This is sort of an impossible situation to address from afar. Great for lead and heavy riffing.I know as I got them in my Y2D! And that is poplar body with maple top. It is all mahogany, but these are meant to be the warmest sounding ones. Check out some demos.mainly Andy Wood uses this combo in his guitar. You might also consider the SSH+ for the bridge. ![]() If you want a really fat and warm tone yet totally articulate, check out the Suhr DSH+ for bridge and DSV for the neck. If it is down to the pickups.(dont think it is the guitar itself since basswood is quite a warm and balanced tone wood) I can suggest Suhr pickups. I dont think they sound anything like a single coil. I do agree that the pickups are much punchier and cutting when I played many of them in the past. What amp are you playing through? What's the signal chain? What other guitars do you have and what are the body and neck woods? Also, you sure the wiring is correct?įor me personally, the JP didnt work because of the ergonomics.however it is still a great sounding instrument. Ive tried different cables, used to use Marshall now Im playing EVH 5150 III - all my other guitars ranging in different prices sound great - its just frustrating me that my very expensive guitar sounds like a cheap strat copy.Īny advice or suggestions would be very much welcomed! Im just wondering if the guitar is wired up properly in the first place or maybe something that is different with the 2009/10 models or wire used, as this guitar doesnt sound anything near any other ebmms that i have heard, just makes me think something is wrong rather than me just not digging this guitar or the wood or the pickups. I have read about people with 2010 models complaining about a similar problem, but they just get shot down in forums. Im pretty sure the SDs and the DiMarzios are nothing alike, yet im getting this same effect. Still not happy! The guitar sounds the same. ![]() Single notes sounded stratty on all pickup selections, just couldnt get on board with a bridge humbucker that sounded single coily.Ī few months ago I talked to my tech about changing pickups and we eventually decided to go for Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro's in neck and bridge, as i love them in other guitars I have. I was never happy with the pickups - i could tweek my amp eq and gain settings for hours and just found the pickups too fizzy and thin sounding whatever eq adjustments I made. ![]() Its fully loaded in ice blue bought in 2009
