They're also great if you're the kind of player who lives on their volume and tone knobs.

This is so true. I usually keep my volume max but with these, I find myself rolling back the volume and adjusting my tone more than usual. More so than with other pickups.

Exactly. With the BW bridge, I usually keep my volume knob around 6 or 7 for metal rhythm, and dime it for leads. The tone knob gets a lot of play when I'm playing non-metal on the BW bridge, which is surprisingly often, split or full hum. I think you'll love the neck, too, when you get it.

Yeah 6 or 7 seems to be the sweet spot for rhythm for me, too. Which kinda feels weird because I usually just max the volume. When max it just becomes a different beast. Awesome pickup for sure! And I'm loving the cleans just as much.

Yes you do, even if you must sell some pickups for it. I have been playing since 1995 and I pretty much tried them all. The JB, Invader, Blackouts, EMGs, Bare Knuckles, DiMarzio X2N, D Activators, etc. The Black Winter blows them all away on 6. In my opinion it's the best for any type of metal. The Nazgul would be my second choice.

Have you ever tried a Lace Deathbucker?

No, not yet. But I have heard of it.

I got an ebony LTD Viper-1000 that would look great with a Deathbucker. Guitar could use something else. Currently have D Activator set in it, but they just dont sound the best in that guitar. But sound great in an RG I got...

I just checked out their site. Requires 250k pots...10 percent off the Deathbucker currently. Don't see any used ones on Reverb either.

Deathbuckers do one thing and they do it very well. They take that sound that you hear when you play unplugged, and put it into the front end of an amp, or DI box.
