Pickup suggestion

[SF audio]

So I'm looking for a specific type of humbucking bridge pickup, if one exists - Full and smooth but dynamic as well. Something medium to medium high output that will tame the high end when using with high gain, but also provide some sensitivity to pick attack instead of compressing...Generally more output means less sensitivity and dynamics, so there must be a pickup that has a good marriage of these two traits.

Going in an esp st-1, alder body and maple neck/fretboard. Prefer alnico 5 over other magnets, but open to anything...

Thanks

Possibly one of the Slash sets (2.0 is hotter) and/or the BroBucker.

I'd also suggest the 59/Custom Hybrid, which seems to bridge the touch-sensitivity/output gap the best (that I've tried, anyway).

Actually have the 59 hybrid in another guitar, want something a little more full/smooth rather cut/bite. Smooth bite?

Then the Slash 2.0 is the one you want.

I'd say consider the JB as well. It's cutting and upfront from the upper mids but the attack is laid back and smooth.

Sounds like a job for the Air Norton, or the full Norton.

I have not tried the Air Norton in the bridge, but in the neck, it definitely sounds fat and smooth but still dynamic. Agreed.

I like the 59/Custom suggestion...because output/touch

I like the Slash suggestions (not that I have one) because smooth/highs.

Not sure that either is exactly what you need.

Perhaps the OP needs the 59/Custom Hybrid with an A2 magnet…:scratchch

Has anyone done this?!?!?!

Can't believe no one here has tried it???

But this makes all kinds of sense...

If someone does this, I'd love to know the result.
