Identify Pick-ups in JP6 2013 vintage

[rkaczano]

I have a JP6 and I am trying to understand which pick-ups I have it. I know from the data below in the database that the guitar was built in 2013.

My bridge pick-up has a chrome bar on it facing the neck.

I am trying to understand if my pick-ups are crunchlab (bridge)/liquifire (neck) or D sonic (bridge)/liquifire (neck).

The reason I ask is that I don't like the neck pick-up as it has no character at all.

That year would have come with Crunchlab/Liquifire pickups.

Thanks.

I really do not like the neck pickup (Liquifire) at all. It really does not have the definition I am looking for when using it for soloing and dialing back the volume knob. I have heard that the EVO2 and PAF Joe are good alternatives. And I am looking for some recommendations. I am playing through a Mesa Boogie Mark V.

Thanks agin.

I just got a mahogany JP15 w/ Illuminators and I like the neck p'up very much, have you tried it?

I agree that the Liquifire is bland if considered out of context, but it pairs really well with the Crunch Lab.
