Do they make metal-oriented Filtertron replacements?

In the bridge, I usually have to shelve it aggressively on the lows to get it tight. It's a great rock pickup for mid tempo music, but not ideal for metal, IMO. Dated sound. I like it better in the neck.

Michael Amott! Gojira! Alex Skolnick!

Interestingly at 12K that is a lot hotter than the TV Jone Classic Plus and Powertron, which both sit at around ~8K. TV Jones did make a Powertron Plus for Rev Billy but that only creeps up to ~9K.

Powertron Plus is TV's hottest, no? I bet it chugs to a modest degree

As long as it's PAF-ish, I'm sure I can make it chug.

But the thing is I like my guitars to have more or less the same output level so that I don't have to completely redo my settings every time I plug in a new guitar. I like different EQ's for guitars, but if one of my guitars has a Duncan '59 and the other a Duncan Invader, it just wouldn't work for me.

And right now, my Gibson has a 500T.

I already passed on the Cabronita. Really cool-looking guitar, but the speciality pickups really would have me limited in options, and I hate that. I like to be able to swap pickups to my heart's content.
