Right, i've done a bit more research... this is a continuation of my previous thread. Have decided to go with Duncan pups as opposed to gibson. I am just agonising over which combination of bridge/neck pickups. As i said earlier I mainly play metal/Doom... bands like ISIS, Converge, Boris, Khanate. I thought of using the following combinations, any advice, knowledge would be welcome. I want chunky, fat warm tone that can do heavy rock --> chugging metal mayhem... so here are those combo ideas.
Bridge + Neck
SH4-JB + SH-2n (this seems fairly popular with metal guitarists, Joey from Life of Agony used it, he had nice tone.)
SH6 Distortion + SH-2n (Though the SH-2n would balance out the harsher tone of the SH6 to give a nicely rounded sound)
SH12b sreamin demom + APH1n - Alnico II Pro (This could sound very full and rounded, or would it be too much?)
SH14 Custom 5 + APH1n - Alnico II Pro (again i though this might be a very full sounding combo, although i do worry if it will have enough crunch for chuggy riffs)
I have not opted for the invader cause i heard it was a bit overly harsh sounding for doom stuff (think sabbath) but maybe if you paired it with a SH-2n? Comments please... i'm really having trouble deciding...
