Re: Favorite Bridge Pickup?
I personally feel the Invader would be my first choice in a non-mahogony guitar. It's got a nice loose feel (in a good way), keeps the sound together, and it can handle low tunings (even though I only tune down the 6th string). It's got a great, even tone, although it kind of lacks in the high-end. It doesn't muddy up, IF YOU BACK OFF THE GAIN A LITTLE BIT! Of course it's going to muddy up if you had the gain set to what you had it on what your stock pups needed, because the Invader's output is so much higher. I don't know how many times I've cringed whenever I read reviews saying that it muddied up on the highest gain setting.. no **** shirlock! With a 16.4 impedence reading, it'd be wise to not put the thing through a totally saturated amp.
On the other hand, it's also good for blues, if you back off the gain! If you let the pickup push the clean sound, it gives it a gritty drive, but not ugly.
So what I'm trying to say is, the Invader is good, just don't go crazy with the gain.

JB!
Though I prefer single-coil hummers.

Re: Favorite Bridge Pickup?
Based on what I learned today comparing my two favorite Duncans (the 59B and Custom Custom) in basically two identical Strats, I've got to say my favorite overall is the 59B or 59 Trembucker.

Re: Favorite Bridge Pickup?
I think these polls are misleading :laugh2:
One day it's the 59. The next, everyone loves Custom, and so on. It's almost as inaccurate as your garden variety political polling. It's a joke. But seriously, Seymour needs to give all registered user's of this forum every current pickup to date that is in circulation. We will try each pickup out, fill out an evaluation form and in return for our services, we get to keep two pickups, one for the neck and one for the bridge. Kinda like a case study that all these pharmacutical companies conduct. Good Idea, Eh?

Re: Favorite Bridge Pickup?
It's a good job that this topic has come back from the dead, because now, I disagree with both the things I said three months ago. I do NOT prefer single coil 'buckers to full ones, and my favourite would probably be the Duncan Distortion. I guess I wish the JB had a bit more bass to it.

EMG 89 is my favorite bridge bucker...on your list though I'd have to say the distortion.
