Hi guys
I have one of my LP customs loaded with EMGs going through my JCM800 using a Keeley Sd-1 to OD it. It sounds good. But recently played my other the Custom with JB in bridge and it (obviously) lower ouptut but I heard more string definition. Clarity. When I played the EMGs I dig them but its slighty cold.... and how do I put this like there was no clarity not mushy.. but like distortion static. Harsh.

I want to replace EMGs them but want something stronger then the JB Pickup which was cool in the other one but for this LP I want metal but controlable, little warmer and clarity and balls.

Bareknuckles Miracle Man? Cold Sweat? SD Distortion but this might be trebly?
Dimarzios.... Suhrs Aldrich?

BTW I love the neck EMG85. People call it muddy but I love a fat pup in the neck so I need to replace this too. Singing thick tone.

It sounds like you just described the Dave Mustaines Livewires. I can't imagine any reason why you wouldn't be happy with a set of these.
 
Re: Need help replacing EMG pu with these needs!

in a lp id look at a jazz bridge in the neck and a distortion in the bridge

Thanks Jeremy but being that the Distortion is ceramic and more treble then JB wouldn't it be same issue as 81?

Distortion, if it got to much treble use 250k or 300k pots.
