say... if i put in 59 and jb. both seymours. will the sound be warm and thick?

or only mahogany can do that? mmm

 

[stillwater]

Hmm... good question... but in my opinion, don't think so...
if not, any guitar would sound like a lespaul with those pickups already.

the warm n thick tonal characteristics of lespaul comes mainly fr its wood, rather than pickups

So what u recommend for erm basswoood to go with. pickups that is. to give out the fullest tone. like the warmest and thickest tone that i can get.?

dimarzios?

 

[stillwater]

Hmm... tt's like the most subjective question...hehe...
maybe one good way is see which artist's tone u like... then we start fr there?

i personally find basswood guitars very rewarding for pickup swaps. it's the most transparent wood for guitar bodies & lets the pickups' inherent tonal qualities through with minimal interferance.

the '59 & JB would do a good job in there, provided it's what you wanna hear from them. for a 'fat' tone, you'd do well to check out the Hotrails, which posssess parallel tonal characteristics as its menacing sibling, the Invader. i have it in my Tele depicted here & it'll pump out booming bass to cover bottom heavy genre (metal) as well as smooth low end for fusion stuff. however, do note what stillwater said about the guitar make & its association with the tone generated, you need a certain constructional quality to be able to produce a certain tone, pickup is just an ingredient to the equation 8)
