Many times, in a guitar related forum, beginners will tend to ask this question. "Should I spend $X on pickup swap or a new amp"? Usually, the reply will always be another question of what amp he/she is currently using.
Most of us like individuality and want by all means to make our instrument "OUR" instrument. By doing minor things like pickup swap or slight modifications, we can better justify the instrument to be uniquely ours or trying to improve the sound of the guitar by changing the pickups to the ones used by our Idols. I am no difference from the love of doing this.
However, do keep in mind that if the current amp you is a really small one and has pretty much a bad sound (Or what you think is bad), chances are, after a pickup swap, you probably still get a bad sound. This is no surprise as the amp plays a major component in the overall tone of all your gears. So the next time you think of changing the pickups of your guitar (Or any other modifications on your instrument for that matter), do keep in mind that the amp plays an important part of improving your overall tone.
