EC-1000 change emg's to passives??
haha i won't ask for any extra cash then.
can you guys recomend me any other passives? i actually thought about getting rid of my guitar and buying a strat (i know, completely different sounds) but i'm not really looking for metal pickups but just well-rounded versatile pickups and i am thinking about coil tapping them eventually.
What style music are you playing?
I find the Duncan Custom, or Duncan Custom Custom are very nice sounding pickups in Mahogany guitars that don't need quite as much gain. The Duncan 59s are nice sounding in both the neck and bridge positions, though my experience is really only in guitars with maple tops.
I'm starting to lean towards rock/bluesish stuff. I play every sunday at church but I usually play my acoustic but sometimes I'll play my electric and the emgs don't really work out for that kind of music. (which I can't stand to play anyway but I'm still not happy with the sound)
I had an epiphone LP and I put the JB/59 combo in there and I really liked the sound of the 59 in the neck and the JB was a little trebly but I didn't mind. It only bothered me a little when I played high gain stuff through it. I'll have to take a look at the customs. I have heard some good things about them as well. The reason why I was asking about the JB/jazz was because it would be an even trade and I wouldn't have to pay for new pickups. but I'm guessing I could get a decent amount for the EMGs if I decide to get something different.
+1 on the Duncan Custom, or Duncan Custom Custom, i also had the JB and 59 combo as well in my ec1000.
Currently Im using Rio Grande pickups which IMO have more clarity and articulation. Look into the BBQ or Muygrande for your style. I have the Crunchbox and Punchbox in my horizon, they cost a little more, but since i put them in my guitar 1.5 years ago I have had no desire to swap them out.
