Upgrading the pickups

JettisonTwin

Hey guys,

I have a Jagstang, and am looking at upgrading to the Dimarzio DP158 pickup (what Cobain had) I'm playing alot of rock, but also want very good clean, clangy mid to high-range sounds..Does anyone know if the Dimarzio is ok for that? I'm assuming the Texas Special would be better..though it would be great if the dimarzio covers mid high-ranges, so I can play heavier stuff too. I can only afford to buy one of either pickup, so it'd be great to kill two birds with one stone.

Which pickup would you guys recommend?

I'm looking at this Texas Special. Since I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, will that one work? I'd hate to order something then have my installer find it won't fit.

Thanks so much in advance for any suggestions!

actually just found some great info in the nirvana/kurt related thread.should've read that first..I'm thinking of the Seymour Duncan JB pickup now.

Everybody has preferences in pickups. personally, I like the sound of the stock pickup that come in squier guitars. IDK why. The Invader humbuckers are way over the edge, but those are fun once in a while, I also like lace sensors as single coils. I'm a high-end-junky.

The Jag-Stang has a great clangy tone, but it's really no good for distortion.
