looking for a specific bridge pup

[El Dangeroso]

ok, so a while ago i found this great example of my playing style online. (so i didn't have to record myself and post it) i'm lookin for a bridge pup (brand or magnet type dont matter) that will pull off that high end clearity as heard in the sound clip with my current rig (see below). but i also need the pup to be able to chug well on the bottom strings. there's got to be a pup that can pull this off. otherwise i might have to try making a hybrid out of a JB and an Ibanez AH2. here's the clip from the digitech website: clip (click play on the "modern british" clip) for another example, listen to Joe Satriani - The Extremist especially the first 30 seconds or so.

Sounds like the Seymour duncan full shred bridge could pull off that sound like a champion!!!!

Re: looking for a specific bridge pup

you know, i almost tried the full shred-b but instead desided to stick with something close to the stock pup. so i got the gibson 498t. i thought that sounded great. then i got a jb in my lp and realized that the gibson was too muddy. then i got my iceman and realized i need to do something to my sg to get it so sound like the jb and the iceman's AH2. this kinda brings to mind a quote from Billy Corgan that i heard a while ago. something to the effect of: "you never realize how bad your pickups are until you get a new amp. so you get new pickups and then you realize how much your amp sucks."

I have played a full shred through many amps and I have always liked it. Its one of the few pickups I can say that about. I think you will be really happy with one.

I recommened the Duncan Distortion.

i have the duncan designed distortion pickup in my schecter. it sounds pretty good, but the bass is a little too loose for my liking. i need it to be tighter.
