Almost Every thing that the tone wizard recomended was above what i can afford, im going to be putting some pickups in my BC rich soon (the platium pro with floyd rose) and i really need a set of pickups that could do really mean good hard rock sound, clean up and get near acoustic sound. I was thinking to do this i could put a Really clean neck pickup in and put a pretty nasty high gain pickup in the bridge Humbucker from hell(neck) X2N(Bridge) just as an idea example if i could afford it. Anyone have any ideas? This is a really expensive guitar so i dont wana lose sound quality, i just wana change it.
Please recomend me a set of pickups. (low budget)

I would suggest the Jazz neck or the Humbucker frem hell for the neck position, and a DUncan Distortion, JB, Invader or Distortion Trembucker for the bridge position.
if you want it even more brutal, i would suggest a Live Wire Metal Combo, which are active pickups and requires 2x 9V batteries.
The Bridge pickup is the highest output Pickup i know, it even has distortion on the clean channel. Very middy, and ONLY suitable for metal.
The neck pickup is a Classic live wire, which is a really clean pickup.

Cool, Yea, i like being able to play something ozzy style, then kick right over and play something like an acoustic eric clapton song.
Btw, sence i have a floyd rose does that mean my strings are f-spaced or regular? Im not sure exactly what F-Spaced means.

If you have a floyd rose, You should go with a F-spaced or trembucker in the bridge and a standard spaced in the neck. (You can use a F-spaced in the neck if your nut width is 1 11/16th or wider.) Though you could use a standard spaced in the bridge but, the polepieces will not line up exactly with the strings.

I don't think there's really any price difference between DiMarzios and Duncans. Either can be had for approx $65 brand new.
BTW, does a BC Rich Platinum Pro really qualify as a "really expensive" guitar?

For a set of pickups that might fit your bill you could go to the Seymour Duncan trading post forum. There are some good deals in there.

I agree, I've bought a few things from the trading post, they all work.
