- Neck: VR-1
- Middle: Plasma 1
- Bridge: Plasma 7
I'm a fan of the VR-1 (have it in my Brian Moore guitar as well), it has that vintage voicing which sounds splendid with lots of distortion, this way, I don't lose out on both clean & driven tones. Ditto the Plasma 1 but this pickup has a more contemporary single coil tone. If you are a blues fan, chances are, you'd prefer the VR-1 instead. The Plasma 7- it sounds great under lots of signal processing. If you are pedals-inclined & have limited clean moments, you'd like the Plasma 7. In fact, it'll size-up against the average DiMarzio in this aspect but be warned that it's not that appealing in lighter-bodied guitars.
PS: Thanks brother Rico for the can of Red Bull! My treat next time.

yes, plasma series was awesome. i'm satisfied with plasma-2 performance in my goldtop :D
does this VR-1/plasma-1/plasma-7 configuration suitable for all-rounder HSS guitar?
these give me a good balance of classic/ contemporary voicing, i should say :-)
since i have VR-extreme (bridge) in my stock, i'm making my HSS mirage a plasma-1/VR-1/VR-extreme instead :)
VR-1 to me is more attractive for distortion. for a more inviting clean, the Plasma 1 is it.
so i just switch places then... neck and mid pickups do have same specification (output, spacing) right?
bro, if you assign the neck pickup for more cleans- Plasma 1. if you do equal billings (both distortion & clean)- VR-1 :-)
waiting for my package to arrive from mike@SV maybe on thursday :)
Mike told me you are one of his steadiest customer from east Malaysia :-)
steady in terms of what? :O
fuss-free + return-to-purchase :-)
ok, this model and the newer JS32 bridge pickup was in trembucker/f-spaced size right?
no bro, this one's standard spacing, not F-spaced...
JS32 dinky too?
correction, JS23 too?
