advice on pickups

[Rockstars-Inc]

Basically i am using an Aria Les Paul copy and i am thinkin of changin my bridge pickup to a high output and active pickup bcos i play with a lot of distortion. The sound must not be with too much treble. I figured out 3 different pickups so i need advice on which is more suitable for me .

1) sh1 59 humbucker
2) Duncan Custom
3) Pearly Gates


I play a lot of music like Gnr, and basically rock music in general, nth to punk but a lil bit of metal though.Thanks ppl.

Re: advice on pickups

none of the ones you named are active, they're all passive

slash uses a seth lover set, if i remember right, which should work for everything you wanna do

pearly gates don't really have the harmonics you'll need

'59 would work great, they have TONS of treble clean, but they warm up & keep good articulation under gain

i don't have any expirience with customs, so i can't help you there

IIRC Slash uses Alnico 2 Pro's.

The only high output pickup out of the three you asked us to choose from was the Duncan Custom. If you're looking for high output, look into the Custom.

Re: advice on pickups

All 3 pickups you list have plenty of treble. I would suggest the Custom Custom instead, much warmer sounding.
