Typically that's what I do as well, boost and use the gain on the preamp. I just figured maybe I should not be an old fogey and try some of these new fangled "modern" sounding pickups.I always dug the Dimarzio PAF 7. But I also use a lot of gain and tend to lean towards lower to medium output pickups.
Right on and those being popular right now, if you don't dig them it wont be hard to sell some barely used pickups. Stuff like the PAF 7s you can find all day long used and cheap, since people like to change them out of perfectly fine instruments like the Ibanez I used to have.Typically that's what I do as well, boost and use the gain on the preamp.

I ended up snagging the Fishman open core classics. $425 Canadian ruples when all was said and done...
I also found out that the pickups I installed on Coop's Solar guitar were the classics, so turns out I've already tried the classics and liked them, so that's reassuring. I believe his Solar is maple neck through mahogany wings so hopefully it's somewhat similar.
Hopefully they don't take too long to arrive, the Sii7 is just sitting sadly on my workbench after I've fitted the electronics.
Me too, awesome pickups.I always dug the Dimarzio PAF 7.
Thanks man. I'm no virtuoso but play what I can play the best, and not go outside my ability and get lucky with some notes lol.Me too, awesome pickups.
Solid playing btw man. :metal:
Post some clips when you get 'em installed. :yesway:I ended up snagging the Fishman open core classics. $425 Canadian ruples when all was said and done...
I'm definitely not an amazing player either, so don't let that stop you. :lol: Just set aside 30 minutes a day to play, whether it's structured practice or goofing off. Before long you'll be back where you were and then start noticing improvement.I'm trying :lol: At the start of the pandemic I had barely touched my guitars in probably 2+ years, then I started a 6 month term on loan to another team at work that essentially allowed me to work 100% from home, which was good with the birth of my daughter in April.
Beginning of November I went back to my old job which meant braving the plague ridden wasteland, but luckily I got offered a permanent position on another team that means I'll be able to work from home 100% of the time, I think even after the plague has fucked off. So, hopefully that will start soon and I can play while I work, should help matters.
I was never an amazing player, had a decent right hand for rhythm though.
