Bridge pup for a DK2 Jackson

[BloodRose]

I need a bridge pup for a Dk2. I want something alil different and alittle bit aggressive.
By different, I mean the C5 is my fav and I have that in a couple of axes.
Im considering :
Screamin Demon - never played one. How does it compare to a C5?

Custom- How would this sound? How does it differ from a C5?

Distortion- never used one. How would it sound and compare to a C5? (HC reviews of the guitar have alot of guys saying they put these in the DK2 with good result)

Blues Trembucker- Love this one too, but not sure if its aggressive enough.

Thanks for your help!

i would try the custom. I never used one but a lot players say it's more aggressive than the C5 because of the ceramic mag

If it were me, I'd put the Distortion in there. It's definitely aggressive enough, and its tonal characteristics are just perfect for me (tight lows, low-mid spike, treble that cuts but isn't shrill). And it has more harmonics than most other pickups I've tried.

The DD or JB will sound great inb that guitar

Is the DD bright?? The tone chart makes it look like a ton of highs

I´d go with the Custom...more versatile than the DD, but still has a huge amount of attitude

I have difficulty with mine finding the right pickup. Many pickups were shrill in my DK2. I started with a JB, went to a DD, then to an EVO. I bought a Custom Custom and a Breed. The Breed is in and sounds fantastic. It gives a HO PAF chime, while darker overall.

If you find yours to be like mine, I would look for a smoother treble. I still think the CC or an Invader would be great. I must say I don't worship the treble gods, but I still like my treble.
