Hi guys.. Hey, I'm buying the Duncan F Spaced Distortion for my RG 550 which has the Edge trem.. I am wondering if you folks think it will sound ok? I mean, I was worried it might be too bright, but after looking at the reviews, most people said it had a lot of bottom? I have had it before, many times actually, but almost every time it was on a Gibson type guitar, except on a Kramer which had a maple body and neck and it sounded good, but a tad tad too bright to me, but I was able to fix it with the EQ.. The same Kramer had a JB in it from the factory and it was way too shrill I thought, which is what I'm worried about with the DD? Do you think it will be too shrill? I had an Ibanez RG a long time back but it had a Tone Zone in it, but it was too bassy, but I did like the harmonics.. I didn't like playing lead with it though.. It didn't seem to me to have the cool sweetness of a Duncan.. It was ok, but the DD is so sweet on a good Mahogany bodied guitar.. it's like it was made for it.. I had one in a SG and a Flying V Gibson and it just rocked in those! Also in a Washburn custom shop set neck made of mahogany and it again rocked.. so I'm hoping the basswood guitar which I think typically is kinda a bassy wood or a blurry wood should sound good.. The trem though typically bleeds off some bass.. So I'm hoping it will EQ out ok...
What you guys think? If this doesn't do what I want, I'll sell it and get me a Dimarzio Air Zone as I hear they are great and have great sustain and cool harmonic overdrive almost like a sustainer pickup when you hold a note.. I'd love that.. and I used to get it with the DD.. in a set neck guitar.. Let's hope I can get it with this RG 550 Cranked with a killer Distortion pedal!
Thanks guys.. Had to ask and talk.. I'm all excited.. Should have my guitar soon and I'll post some MP3's or sound files when I get the duncan put in, and with the stock pups so everyone else can hear the difference..
