I want to do a few changes to one of my guitars (Marathon ProSeries RR) and one of these changes is a pickup-swap.
the guitar has 2 humbuckers and the neck-PU has the coil-split-function (push-pull-pot). now as I want to use the guitar mainly for Black/Deathmetal stuff, I want it to sound really heavy and brutal. I want to stay with passives though.
I was thinking about putting a Dimarzio X2N in bridge-possition (really like the Superdistortion in my other guitar) but I haven't had the cance to try one of those so far. are there any sound-files online (didn't see any on the Dimarzio-hp)??
also: what would be a good neck-PU to go with it? maybe something with the coil-split possibillity (I don't think I'll use it much, but as the option is already there, why not give it a bit more versatility?)
any ideas? also: what should those PUs cost?
