What is the best humbucker for low tuning, for example C? I am looking for the sound of the "Honor Thy Father" by DT.

Re: Humbucker for low tuning
i've had good luck with a JB. My old band used to tune to Drop-C and i loved the sound of it. I also dropped it to drop-B and it sounded even better. it kept the bass nice and tight and let the highs sing when you needed them to. hope this helps.-Greg

Re: Humbucker for low tuning
The JB works. But the SH-5 Custom might work even better.Evan Skopp, Inside Track International

Re: Humbucker for low tuning
actually, you might want to even look into the Dimarzio D-sonic. Brad Delson from Linkin Park uses one... and although I'm not at ALL a fan of them, I like his tone. I also hear that it's got good bass response, and high output.• EBMM JPX BFR (Crunch Lab/Liquifire)
• Schecter C-1 Classic (Custom8/Jazz)
• Mayones Duvell 7 Standard (Instrumental SFTY-3/Decomp)
• G&L Tribute Comanche

• Horizon Precision Drive --> Fulltone FB3/FD 2 --> Crybaby From Hell (Fasel) --> Boss BF-2 --> CH-1 --> TC Flashback X4

Re: Humbucker for low tuning
I can vouch for the custom and Dimebucker, both work great. THe Custom just gets fatter and fatter the lower you goZerberus Industries: Where perfection just isn't good enough.

Re: Humbucker for low tuning
I suggest a JB for low tuning and big chords. I like the punch in the bottom end. Some pickups don't like those low frequencies and they start to sound artificial.
The Custom will work also.
