It really depends on what sound you are looking for.
EMG Active pickups are great for metal but lack tone.
On the other hand try perhaps Di Marzio Super Distortion.
It's got great sound for Classic rock & metal with plenty of tone floating around.
Or Seymore Duncan Distortion is a good pickup in a Basswood body like your ibanez.
Good luck...

What is the best pickup to use while playing chords on a guitar?
Depends what kind of chords and whether or not you are using distortion. If you have no distortion, then playing chords on the bridge pickup can lead to an overly twangy, very thin sort of tone. However if you want to play distorted power chords, the bridge pickup sounds great. If you aren't using distortion, I would recommend the neck pickup, adjusted to take a little bit of the bass out of it using the tone knob, that gives a nice, fat, balanced sound to chords
What effects does John Frusciante Can't Stop have?
It's a clean guitar for the verse on the bridge pickup. He uses distortion for the solo.
How did The Beatles get the guitar sound on Revolution?
Fender Strat or Tele, bridge pickup, through a tube amp pushed into distortion by cranking up the gain.
Does the dimarzio super distortion pickup take batteries?
No, the Dimarzio Super Distortion is a passive pickups, which means it does not need batteries. Active pickups, such as EMGs and Seymour Duncan Blackouts do require batteries. Passive pickups get all their sound from the magnets and the coil windings. Active pickups get their sound from that as well but they have a preamp ( a set eq ) which requires power from a battery.
Why won't a Marshall guitar amp get distortion with gain all the way up?
AnswerMarshall amps are usually tube amps. Even if the gain is all the way up, you need volume to produce distortion. Try turning the volume up to about 6 and the gain down to 8. That should give you a little distortion. Want more? turn the volume up first. Also turn the volume on the guitar up. That should help. Even if the amp can produce gain it will still take a guitar with the proper pickups to get there. I play several tube amps. My Ibanez SV5470 has Seymour Duncan P-90's and a "quater ponder" single coil. I have the ability to play all three pickups in series. In this setup I get gain without the volume. Pickups can be rated in many ways. A pickup with high "Resistance(there's more to it but I'll keep it simple) will "push" an amp into a "gain" sound much easier than a low resistance pickup. Some pickups simply don't have the power to push an amp into the metal zone. Now I don't know anything about your guitar but based on your' description, I believe this is your' problem. It's like comparing a single coil strat to an Ibanez RG. Strats just don't have really strong pickups. They are designed for a "bell like tone". The RG only wants to overdrive any amp because the pickups have a great deal more resistance. Hope this helps.

Can you wire a pickup to a stomp box so that the output of the instrument would be whatever effect you wired the pick up to like having a built in distortion pedal or something like that?
A stomp box is an effects unit in a small metal chassis containing a circuit that modifies the signal from an electric instrument such as a guitar. It can add effects such as distortion, fuzz, overdrive, reverb, wah-wah, octaving, flanging and others. The "stomp" refers to the switch, which is activated with the foot. A pickup

How Does an electromagnetic field affect the performance of an infrared surveillance camera?
HI, If it's a solid state (ccd) camera, probably not very much. If it's an older pickup tube camera (plumbicon, etc.), it could cause quite a bit of distortion in the image, if near enough to the pickup tube. Hope this helps, Cubby
