Pickups replacement for B.C. Rich Mockingbird

[dbaber]

I have myself a neck-thru 24 5/8" scale MIK B.C. Rich Mockingbird ST w/ honeyburst finish (mahogany w/ ebony fretboard) with Seymour Duncan JB/Jazz pups in it, but I'm looking for a bit more output. Would you guys recommend the Nazgül/Sentient pickups?

Thanks,
Dan

Or an sh-13 if you want more slice.

You can probably get away with a little more output from the neck pickup without it getting muddy as the 24 fret brings the neck pickup back about 1 inch compared to a les paul

How about a Demon in the neck with an Alternative 8 in the bridge?

What about the Black Winter set?

Hmmmm, the Demon/Alternative 8 combo sounds interesting though.

I think it would be fantastic in a 'bird. It would turn heads.

I have a Fralin Metal SHO set in mine. Tons of output without sacrificing clarity and definition, the articulation is fantastic. They sound like Fralins but more. Here is a review I wrote on them.

This is pretty helpful, especially all the out of mix bits that start here:

That Nazgul is sounding better to my ears than some of these others, even the Alternative 8.

No offense but the audio on the video at the end of that tmrzoom.com link is clipping horribly and sounds like fuzzy garbage.

I play with a fuzzy buzzy tone. That is what I go for and like. Garbage is a bit strong, why dont you post a clip of your boring watered down generic tone and let us pick it apart.

And I was beginning to think that I was the only one.

Here's the last thing I recorded, granted I think the tone is a bit dark:

Meh! My tone works for my band, that is why we don't sound like every other metal band out there. Love it or hate it, I don't care. The thing is if the guy asked me to post a clip with a traditional Marshall setting or even some scooped 80's pablum I would have done it. I have done it for people in the past. When you come at me with "garbage" that is a bit strong. Too bad Garbage is taken I would have loved to use it as a band name.

I apologize you are truly a master of technique and tone. I will take notes and adjust my tone accordingly. After hearing that clip I can now see why you have the authority to cruise the internet insulting other guitarists.

I dunno if this is heavy sarcasm or what, either way I genuinely really thought you just had audio clipping issues and not a buzzy tone. Distortion due to audio clipping because the signal is too hot doesn't sound good.

Re: Pickups replacement for B.C. Rich Mockingbird

Dude, I genuinely like your tone. I count as my influences the likes of Young, Mustaine, Schaffer, Cavazos among many others. I like the tone that sounds like the cab is a second away from coming apart, yet still tight.
Rock on!

I'd like to see more pics of that Mockingbird. It looks pretty sweet. I didn't mean to offend anyone in this here thread. I guess I get the lo-fi buzzy tone now . To each their own.
