I decided to start this forum for those that are looking to upgrade their axes via changing pickups. For the best tone in terms of; clarity, ability to cut through the mix, tone, versitility, etc. there are 3 great pickup combinations to choose from. In no particular order;

EMG Active 81's
Dimarzio Evolution / Breed
Seymour Duncan JB / 59' (Screw the Jazz Combination)
