Hey, couldn't find a specific part of the PRS forum to put this thread in, so this will have to suffice.
Anyways, out of curiosity, I wanted to see who else has tried aftermarket pickups (ie- Bare Knuckle, Dimarzio, Lundgren, Fishman etc) in their PRSi and if so elaborate on the difference that made and to what end you were trying to achieve with a pickup swap that the originals weren't quite covering.
i.e.- I installed some Bare Knuckle Painkillers into my PRS Custom 24. I wanted a really tight and punchy pickup under high gain that will still hold clarity with lower tunings. Sure, the mid-range spike is quite prominent, similar to the HFS, but I wanted something more controlled in the low end, and a punchier/snappier neck pickup because I switch to that very often for lead work.
sample clips provided below:
*note, this isn't meant to be a disparaging thread towards PRS pickups, not at all. In fact, I've relied on them for many years with good results. this is just an attempt to stir further discussion on what other ways people may hone in on what tones they're looking for, with pickups being one of many ways to do just that*
