I'm looking to replace the pickups in my Schecter C-1 Exotic (Mahogany body, flame maple top, Ebony Neck). I mainly play downtuned metal, but would like some versatility because dynamics are important in the music I like. Not considering Actives.
I use a mesa boogie dual rectifier amp, and am looking to get a tone similar to bands like Mastodon, Tool, and Gojira. Im into a lot of sludge/death metal, and will be playing in Drop C mostly.
Right now I'm looking at the Duncan Distortion or JB for the bridge. Leaning towards the DD because of its suitability for heavy distortion and a tighter bottom end than the JB. Kind of ruled out the Custom because of reviews of it being too bottom heavy and scooped for downtuned music with a mahogany guitar. Any suggestions or recommendations?
I also was looking at some of the Dimarzios (X2N, Super D, etc.), and heard some good things about the SD Black Winters.
Id also appreciate if you could recommend a good pickup to pair with in the neck for whatever bridge pup you suggest.
Thanks
