Re: Muddiest Pickup
Let me explain muddy. You're either dealing with a POS guitar that's not even worthy of real pickups, or you're dealing with a garbage pickup that was made for $2, just to throw into a garbage guitar.
No aftermarket company like Duncan, DiMarzio, EMG, or any other makes muddy pickups. They make tone shaping electromagnetic devices for quality guitars. If you're experiencing mud, it's either your garbage guitar, your garbage amp, or your garbage pickup. One of those 3 must truly be garbage, in order for you to experience mud.

I'm halfway convinced these are simply trolling threads. If that's true, most of us have been had.

Re: Muddiest Pickup
Oh, nice find!
Do you know which would be muddier, bassier, low-mid-ier between the Invader, Tone Zone and the Super 3, for comparison?
Is the 25 K DC Resistance of the Super 3 a big factor?

The bridge seems usable, but the neck was WAY too muddy on my epi dot. Much better with a '59 in there.

Yeah, I have no doubt about that! Neck pickups to me are almost always excessively muddy. The neck pickup is harder to address than the bridge.
I'm mostly looking for a bridge pickup though

Re: Muddiest Pickup
Why not? This entire thread is silly. Nobody knows what this guy is talking about, why he's asking for things to make his sound muddy, or what muddy even means to him. I've decided he means muddy as in bloated, overbearing bass that makes your guitar sound like you're playing along with a nu-metal bassist.

Re: Muddiest Pickup
I'm thinking about it... I'd really want to try, I know Epiphone makes Alnico PAFs too...
If a guy trying to find his tone is silly, then okay, I am silly alright
Lots of bass, low mids and rounded highs is something I'd like
Also, the Invader reminds me of a better EVO2... it's got rounder cleans that the EVO2 for me, it's more powerful, tight... and both are ceramic...

Re: Muddiest Pickup
What exactly are you trying to achieve, tonally? Do you have any clips or well-known examples of the sound you're trying to get? Can you post something?

You really want a muddy tone? Have you considered practicing instead?

I've done everything I can think of. I brought in a live hippo covered in real mud. I even brought in Cypress Hill, though I had to delete it when I realized it wasn't censored. Now what? Oh, this:
