Live wire metal pickup

[Jackson_Luver]

Guys I need your help!!!!!

I have a Jackson WRXT and want to change the pickups with a Live wire metal in the BRIDGE but what would goes good with it in the neck. I dont' need a clean sound for this guitar I have guitars for that. I just what to play metal with this guitar.The sound I am looking is something like Lamb of god and I also what to have a FAT plammute sound to. I also know that they sell a live wire metal humbucker set do any of you know of this pickup would sound in the neck. O just one more thing will this give me that Zakk wlyde type of Pinch Harmonics.

P.S thanks for any help guys

well its active and high output so yes on the zakk wylde question

but i've heard it sounds robotic, so you may wanna get an emg 81/85 set

Just make sure you have a good amp. Active pickups bring out the best and worst in your rig. Playing active pickups through a mediocre amp will bring out the mediocraty. Playing them through an excellent amp will bring out the excellence.

I have a Rocktron RT122C, when i tryed it i like it better then most of the tube apms i tryed, i Also have a Carvin MTS for my blues but i'm going to play with my rocktron when i get my live wire metal.


P.S so what would be a good pickup in the neck with it.

Don't you think getting an active pickup with a solid state amp is kinda pointless?

The high output those pickups output is more or less meant to push a tube amp into overdrive/distortion.

You don't have any tubes to push.
