Lookign for a good pick for baritone guitar

[nudnic]

What's a good humbucker choice for a baritone? I have a Squire Subsonic, bass wood (I think), rosewood fretboard and constructed neck through body. I think it's 27" scale. I tune it to A. The original pickup sounded so so, I switched to an Invader but I don't like this either. I usually play with a clean amp and use a fuzz box for distortion.

Not sure on the science of this, here's what I have been thinking about.

I figure the strings are heavier and probably generate more current in the coils. Maybe you'd want a pick up with a lower output?

The guitar puts out a lot more bass. I find my guitar gets a little flabby sounding. Need a pick up that handles the bass tones well.

I open to recommendations. I have not seen any pick ups made especially for baritone.

Sorry, I think I missed your meaning here.
Not sure, look to the pickups meant for harder style if that is what you play since alot of that
these days is drop tunings.

I think a Jazz Model would do well.

Thanks for the replies.

I have the guitar, I need a pickup.

Something for low tunings would be good. But I keep thinking there is more too it when the strings are a lot larger than standard guitar strings.

I had also been thinking a Jazz type pickup might work well. I have this feeling that something with a lower output might work better as the large might be cause the pick up to generate more output than it normally would with regular sized strings. That's just my theory, I'm not sure how correct this would be.

Have you considered any actives?

The Full Shred does well for low tunings. I have Mighty Mite Motherbuckers in my Baritone. The Motherbuckers are half way between a Duncan Distortion and a Super Distortion.

I have a silly idea. It might need experimenting, but then that would be half the fun, wouldn't it?

Ok, 'I' would try this... in fact, I would love to get a squier just to do it.

Fit a bass pickup, a '59 or something and put in a blend knob, or two volumes. I have no idea what it would sound like.

Lower output? A screamin demon maybe?
