The Pickup Place / Re: Pickups in Ibby S5570Q-RBS

Actually both (tone match and pickup size)
I have been told that not all the pickups fit into the S5470/S5570, or may be just a problem with the screws and not of the baseplate.  ::)

The Pickup Place / Pickups in Ibby S5570Q-RBS
« on: November 03, 2017, 07:39:42 AM »
Dear all,
I would need to replace the pickups on my Ibanez S5570, as I am after Petrucci / DT tones.
The Hot Grinders are pretty nice, but the bridge pickup gets a bit muddy under heavy distortion in my opinion. I would like to get a tight, aggressive, clear tone for rhythm parts and a cutting sound for solos.
I could get the CL / LF combo, but I do not know if they fit this guitar. I was also thinking to a D-Activator for the bridge, or may be a Duncan Custom/Distortion. I also know that the middle pickup in the 5570 is not reverse polarity, so replacing the bridge may also require to replace the middle pickup (a True Velvet could be a good candidate for it?)
Any suggestion?
Thanks !!!
