Hello,

I'm new here so apologies if I am posting this in the wrong forum but I am trying to figure out what pickups to buy. I am trying to achieve this tone: as played by Guitarist Tom Dumont of No Doubt on Perfect Day by Kelis.

In trying to figure out what he was likely using in 2000-2001 I found the following online:

Tom Dumont: guitar, keyboards
Hamer Standard guitar
Hamer Artist Korina guitar
Hamer Vector guitar
Takemine acoustic
Soldano SLO100 head
Fender 4×12 cabinets (2)

And

quot;What kind of guitars do you use?quot;

TD: I use Hamer guitars. Usually I'm playing what they call a Standard, which is kind of like a Gibson Explorer.

quot;What type of pickups?quot;
TD: Two humbucking pickups. They're the stock pickups, pickups. Two of those, one's a backup. And I've got another new Hamer called an Artist, Korina, it's like semi-hollow, it's really nice. And I've a Flying V by them that they call the Vector. That's it for this particular tour. I'll probably add an acoustic on the next [part] I use a Takamine.Ok, so that begs the question, what pickups were stock in the Hamer Standard (what I think he used on that clip). Artist Korina, and Vector Guitars?

Any help in this would be appreciated.

Hamer has been using a Duncan 59 set on the Standards and Studios for a few years now, I would say that it is a Duncan 59 set. I went to the Hamer website (and they are still using the 59's.

Thank you! I've just ordered one to replace my stock BC Rich bridge pickup

Well that was quick.

which one(s) had the JB/59 set? i think it looked a lot like a LP double cut?

That is the Hamer Studio/archtop or the Hamer Special/flattop, I think the Hamer Standard also used to use the JB/59 combo but they switched them both at the same time. The Vector also gets the 59's, it seems to be thier pickup of choice for the solidbodies.
