Good metal pickups for a middy guitar

[weepingminotaur]

Looking at the Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor. On paper it actually sounds like it might fit my needs (more scooped mids than a JB, tighter low end). Have 0 experience with it, though.

Do you think the Pegasus could handle fast thrash riffing? I always had it pegged as more of a prog oriented pickup but that impression could be off-base. Also, what apart from the Sentient would pair well with it? I've got a Sentient in another guitar, and while I like it, I also like variety.

It can pair with the Nazgul as well. But the Pegasus isn't just for prog metal. It has a pretty solid low end.

Mayhem set.
Thank me later.

Distortion set should be perfect in that guitar.

Yeah, the Distortion might work as well. So +1 on those.

The Distortion has more sizzle and grind than a JB as well as a solid, bolder, less stuffy low end/low mid ratio.

Compared to the 'Winter, the Distortion is definitely less focused around the mids.
