Halt Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hey. I have acquired a Washburn BT-2 Maverick Series. Just about everything is wrong with it. I just found a replacement neck for it, so now I need a couple pickups. all the little shit can wait. What's good? Like, not TOO pricey, but not cheap either.

UmJammerSully Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Helpful to know what style of music you like to play. Unless you're looking for "all-purpose" pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halt Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Helpful to know what style of music you like to play. Unless you're looking for "all-purpose" pickups. All-purpose, since I like a lot of different styles. Its an old guitar so I don't really plan to use it for much then just whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambinate Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 do you know vaguely how much you want to spend? you could spend anywhere from $60 to over $200 on pickups, so you might be able to narrow your search a bit if you really cap how much you're willing to pay. i realize this post is absolutely unhelpful and i apologize.

Naw, its absolutely necessary. I do the same for people when they wish to build PCs I did find some Seymore Duncans: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Seymour-Duncan-Hot-Rodded-Humbucker-Set-?sku=300030 But iunno, no more then $150 tops. a little less if possible.

Kidd Cabbage Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I love me some DiMarzio Evolutions for a balanced tone. Our sigs are too similar. TWINS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callitsleep89 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The Satriani combo will give you a good base tone to work with. It should work with most styles of music. Dimarzio PAF Joe in the neck. Dimarzio FRED in the bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Dimarzio makes quality gear that will give you a good range of options. I second any of those recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halt Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 I think I might go with that Sat Combo, I've heard good things, maybe I'll get those Seymores for my Cort. Thanks guys. I'll probably make a project thread and update it as I go along with restoring This Washburn BT-2. Just in case anyone is interested. and learning to install my own pickups will save me a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarretGraves Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 A combo I went with was the Petrucci setup. DiMarzio Crunch Lab the bridge and Liquifier at the neck. Petrucci's style is inspired by the likes of Satrianni I think. They have similarities except Petrucci is much heavier than Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekofrog Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Get a Tone Zone in the bridge. Norton fort he neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixto Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Idunno about the Satch combo. That bridge pickup is pretty much what makes Satch sound like Satch. Almost like a wah pedal stuck halfway up. The typical Seymour Duncan setup is a JB in the bridge and a Jazz in the neck. Good setup for all styles of music. I liked it in my old Les Paul.
