Pickup search for hard rock/ metal

Re: Pickup search for hard rock/ metal

It looks just like an EMG. Is it supposed to compete with EMG? How does the sound compare to the EMG-81?
 
Re: Pickup search for hard rock/ metal

Dimebucker, Distortion, Invader, JB, Custom, Custom 5, Custom Custom, allthese are high output...what kind of tone are you looking for and what kind of guitar are they going iin?
 
Re: Pickup search for hard rock/ metal

Depending on what you're putting it into, Invader, Full Shred or JB.

I'm looking for the absolute highest output humbucker that duncan makes.
 
Re: Pickup search for hard rock/ metal

I'm wanting to replace the pups in my Kramer les paul custom. And I play hard rock/ meatl. And even sometimes some softer stuff.
 
Re: Pickup search for hard rock/ metal

The tone that I'm wanting is something that can throw a straight forward metal punch with good bass and good clarity. I'm basically looking for something that competes with the EMG-81.

You do NOT want the live wire metal if you ever play anything less than rip your head off metal. The LW-HMET's clean tone makes an EMG sound like a freakin Seth Lover.

If you want balls out heavy, but still want a useable clean tone, try out the Invader. Of course, the JB & Distortion totally kick ass, too.
 
Re: Pickup search for hard rock/ metal

I've heard that the JB/59 would be the best decision for something like the tone that I want.
