Hello all,
Any recommendations for a replacement bridge pickup for my Rio BBQ.
I love the sound of this pup, but need more output/volume. I don't want a pup that is to sharp or has any mid hump etc. The Rio is a very balanced pickup so, I would need the same.
Any opinions. Oh, the neck pickup is a Jazz, I used to have a JB in the bridge, but found it a bit upper mid heavy.

Jon

Anyone?

Duncan Custom or Custom-5, fatter PAF tone with some extra juice. It depends on how much you want in the mids.

Thanks for the reply. I find the rio a very balanced sounding pup, it does not seem to have many spikes. Does the CC-C5 have any mid spikes?

Hmm, the BBQ is pretty hot already. I think the Custom would probably be a little spikey for you in the top end. The Custom Custom is REALLY warm and creamy, but I'm not sure if it would be too hot for you. I guess you'll have to check that out.

I have put a Jazz in the neck of my guitar, and it is almost sunk into the cavity to get it to balance with the rio, so, the CC sounds as though it might be good. I wish we could try before we buy.

the anderson h2 and h3 humbuckers have a very balanced EQ with high output sound(the h3 especially).
its just a little bass heavy,but still being very clear in all other frequencies, unlike the invader.
