Hi there.
I'm choosing new pickups for my soloist (current ones are PG1n and JB) and decided to taste something modern. So my main options are Nazgul and Pegasus. I've listened dozens of youtube videos (also tried stock Nazgul on Schecter KM-6, but it had different polepieces), and Pegasus looks more organic, midrangey and less sizzle, I don't really like pups with lots of harsh highs (like Distortion and Invader, for example) and tend to like alnico more than ceramic.
What do I want form pickups? Current JB fits my jackson really well, very rich sound with mid-range punch and nice texture, but upper-mids are bit screamy, like 80's metal sound. I don't really need this voicing, but I like JBs sweet midrange and want to keep it. Also I'd prefer to have more bass punch, I like low tunings and JB is kinda thin in B standard. Little more lows would be very nice. So as I can tell from what I've heard on Youtube, Pegasus is my primary goal, but Nazgul sounds also cool. What would you suggest?
And another question was about bridge pups spacing. I want to buy set Pegasus/Sentient or Nazgul/Sentient on ebay, but it looks like all that set are in standard, non-tremolo spacing. Are there any sets with trembucker bridge pickups or I must purchase them separately?
Thanks.
