Re: Worst pups you ever used
The one pickup that made me mad was the Dimarzio Bluesbucker. I read the description, I checked out the stats, I read reviews, and everything it was supposed to be, it was not. I like a bright pickup, but this went way beyond the most ceramic Squier single coil strat by a long, long way. I am really beginning to wonder if I got a bad one. I ended up pulling the split ceramic, and put a roughcast Alnico 2 magnet in it. It is still bright, but vintage sounding. And at least it's usable that way. I really wonder why they didn't use an Alnico 2 magnet to begin with?
The worst pickup I've ever encountered was the Entwistle Nemesis. The bridge was okay as a distortion pickup, but the neck..... I've never had a pickup be both shrill and muddy at the same time. Usually they are one or the other. This was both. I mean, it takes a special kind of stupid to make that happen. What really irritated me, of all the stupid things, they didn't even send the right screws for it. I ended up trading that set.
