Finally caved and bought an Ibanez after much (not much) deliberation.
Anyway I really like the guitar and the neck, but as mentioned pretty much everywhere the stock pickups are royal shite and need replaced ASAP. (Never heard stocks with overtones this grating before)
I realise theres about a million threads on sevenstring.org about this already but I'm not sure I trust the people on there anywhere near as much as I do you guys when it comes to tone.
Body is basswood and I was thinking about EMG 81-7 Bridge + 707 Neck but I'd prefer not to have to get the thing routed. So that leaves me with pretty much Blackout Phase I's (which seem barely tolerated universally) for actives or some sort of Dimarzio/Seymour Duncan combo for passives.
No suggestions for Bareknuckles please as they are both A) Expensive and B) Muddy as fark.
So if you guys have suggestions for something tight and modern with no flubby midrange farting then it would be appreciated.
