whats a good shreddin' pickup?

[\m/(00)\m/]

whats a good shreddin' pickup for the bridge in my 80's charvel. i dont know the model, but i know the wood is alder and it was made in fort worth texas.
i was thinking of a screamin demon, since it has that more paf type attitude and it didn't sound all that bad in the ESP model. but since the guitar has no tone pot, im afraid it may be too bright. how would the super distortion sound in it also, since it has increased bass and mids it may balance out with the tremolo and no tone pot.
what would you recommend?


p.s. i may also have a luthier route out a floyd routing for it(it has a vintage style trem) so i dont knwo if that would make it brighter also

thanks

it's pretty easy, just 1 bridge humbucker, 1 volume pot.

Re: whats a good shreddin' pickup?

How about the C5? Almost a Custom, but without the ceramic high end brightness.

Re: whats a good shreddin' pickup?

Hey, man. You know I'm gonna say Super Distortion
It's got a great lead and rhythm sound. Should be really good in your Charvel too because it's pretty bass/mid heavy.

Another pickup you might want to look into is the DiMarzio Air Zone or Tone Zone. Tone Zone is by far my favorite pickup. They have huge bottom end and a very modern voicing. I think you'd really like'em if you don't mind the modern voicing they have. The Super Distortion is a tad bit more classic sounding.

Oh, thanks for listening to all my clips! I appreciate it!

Re: whats a good shreddin' pickup?

thanks.

i think i may try the tone zone since i might be having the guitar routed out for a floyd rose. or the super distortion


hmmmm... decisions, decisions.
