Anyone tried the Images & Words combo in a jp6?

[whitestrat]

HFH in the neck and a tonezone in the bridge. How about it? Anyone tried? I'm very tempted to. Just got the liquifire/crunchlab combo. If that doesn't work out for me, then the oldest combo set goes in.

Any thoughts?

I thought that the I&W combo was a Steves Special and a HFH (then later to the Air Norton)

I just read the interview with Larry Dimarzio in Premier Guitar saying that the SS wasnt supposed to be made until JP tried it and called it "Steves Favorite Pickup". (Steve being Steve Blucher from Dimarzio).

I have tried that several years ago in an Ibanez USARG I remember I liked it.It was quite JP like thru my Engl. I swapped it for an AN in the neck and Ive been thru tons of combos and my favorite of them all is the Andy Timmons AT-1 and the Liquifire with an Area 67 in the middle. That is a killer combo in my Silo.

SS and AN didnt come out till '95, he cant have used them.
Unless of course he was shredding so fast he bent time and brought them back with him
But seriously, it is the TZ/HFH. If you watch the I&W Live in Tokyo DVD, you can see he's got a slug/screw combo pup in the bridge (ToneZone) and and hex poles in the neck (HFH)

So Larry Dimarzios wrong?

Where has he said thats what the I&W combo is?
If you watch I&W Live In Tokyo, he's definitely not using a Steve's Special. If he wasn't using it after the album came out, he almost certainly didn't have it when they were recording it. And I doubt he would have had prototypes 3 years before they released the pickup.

Larry didnt mention I&W. Just that at the point of time they were scouting names for the SS. They wanted JPs opinion on a it.
