BRIDGE PUP WITH DEMON IN NECK

[Ben1962]

Newer member here. I keep hearing the wonders of the demon in the neck. I would assume that would be a higher output for a neck, any recommendations for a Bridge PUP? Going into an Epiphone LP style. I play medium gain, not death , more hairmetal type distortion and tend to use my tone knob a lot. Think RIP type tones, already have the JB set. Just want to try something new. Thanks in advance, Happy Holidays All !!

Try it with a Distortion in the bridge.

Thanks for the response. Any customs or ALt 8? The Customs have me interested as I can switch mags, havent tried it yet. Was thinking Distortion as well.

Thanks. I gotta tell you, some of your encounters with Blueman had me laughing real hard. Is that pup readily available?

The Screamin Demon is an excellent neck pickup! Totally should be marketed as one...or SD should come out with a neck version to market it as such. (if they do/already have done so then just ignore the last part lol)

My favorite pairing was with a Dimebucker. Great tone that handle cleans and drive so very well--lots of great harmonics with both. Very versatile combo that could cover most genres.

Here is a clean clip:



And here is a gain clip:

Thanks to all you guys!! That clean on the demon sounds awesome. I never play total clean anyway, thats for the flat top LOL

I'd say Custom or 59/Custom Hybrid should blend well. Check out the Custom first.

Custom family and Alt8 pair well with Demon. I like blend position from Alt8-Demon more though.

My main guitar is an HH Strat with a Demon in the neck and a Custom 5 in the bridge. I have it wired with 3 way blade, master tone that coil splits both pickups and a master volume for each pickup. Love this combination.

Think LP wood would be too dark?

I'm contemplating putting Alt8 and Demon in my next guitar, but that would be a basswood Jackson with a maple/rosewood neck-thru construction. Some would say that Alt8 would be too much for an LP type of a guitar. Although Duncan says that it works well in mahogany with rosewood fretboards:

Kramer put Alt8 in some of its mahogany guitars (with '59 in the neck, though):

Have no idea how they sound.

The Alt8 is a great pickup but very powerful. It would probably work fine in an LP, but you would want to set it lower than you would set a typical bridge pickup.

i have a demon and alt8 combo but it's on my rhoads v with ash body, ash neck, ebony board. i still prefer a jazz on the neck.

i'll try to find some time to swap my demon and alt8 to my epi lp and let you know how it's like

Ash neck? I can't recall any guitar ever coming with an ash neck. It's most likely maple.

Maple neck. Thank you for your concern.
