Hello all you string benders...I have an old epiphone genesis that I got back in 1980. yeah I'm approaching old-fartdom. I would like to change the bridge pick-up but I really don't have a clue as to what to buy. I like to play Sabbath, B.O.C.,early Aerosmith, etc. The stock neck humbucker is real sweet for clean and distorted Santana type
sounds but the bridge one falls a little short of being the
screamer that I would like to have. I play through an old fender vibrachamp and a 50 watt musicman amp. I get a pretty good sound out of the pick-up now but I think it could be improved. There are simply so many brands and models and I doubt they will let me solder one in just to try it out.
Any input would be appreciated. Oh and back to being an old
fart, I'm not there yet but it has been a while since the
smoker I drank the player I got. Thanks and look forward to your replies
