  • HB Pickups????

    Hi there! Hope you guys can help me decide what PU to buy. Problem is Im not satisfied w/ the Pickups.

    Here's my gear:
    My guitar is a Washburn P2 (Les Paul-ish type) Mahogany w/ Maple top.
    Amp: Peavey Bandit 112 80watts.

    Sound:
    I want that Zakk Wylde Crunch, like in Black Label Society. How can I achieve that tone.
    Im into that dark low end punch, but would still give me enough highs for pinch harmonics in the strings at lower frets, thats what Im into. squeal like a pig!

    My fear is that I would end up w/ a PU that can give those squeals but too thin sounding for riffs & chords.

    HEELLPPPP!!!!!

    zakk uses the emg 81 in the bridge and 85 in the neck. as for duncans, a distortion or jb will help you squeal in the bridge. try a pearly gates in the neck for cool pinch harmonics. imo, its better to tweak your amp's eq to get the dark low end.
    the mind is willing, but the flesh is weak...
