seth bridge+ more power

[madguitar26]

after endless researching,listening and advice ive setled for a seth(already on order) for the neck of my les paul guita.

listened to the pafs bridge,including fralin,57 reissue,dimarzio virtual paf and hot.didnit like the cc(only for alder and basswood guitars).
im using my amps distortion peavey classic 50 4x10(its no mesa,but rather good).

i want a sound slightly more powerfull than the seth bridge but not way too much like a cc or dimarzio air zone.

thought about the burstbucker pro,dimarzio breed neck,and rio grande bbq.
i know some of you will recomend me the cc but i dont like too much mid range in a les paul.
feal free to recomend me any other ones

Re: seth bridge+ more power

the seth is an alnico II 8k pup, the bb pro is alnico V and just a touch hotter and i dont think they sound any where near the same.
i have a 10k antiquity with a full strength magnet that sounds like exactly what you are looking for, but its a custom shop pup. the patb-3 would be close to what you are looking for but does have a different look

Re: seth bridge+ more power

rahter than a custom shop pickup(too much $$ for me) is there any other alternative?
im begining to think only the custom ceramic will do.
other user tell me the rio grande BBQ is to round and balsy for a les paul,so that one goes out.
the burstbucker´s...are they good for hard rock?
aNYONE ELSE?

Yes there is -- try putting Alnico 4 or 5 in your Seths.

Re: seth bridge+ more power

im not ordering from a custom shop manufacterer heard about only days ago.even if i did it would take a couple of weeks i presume.
dont like thier marketing and website presentation(yes the highorder) looks like a realy beginners shop,but the general ideia of a reasonable cheap and custom made pickup is very apealing.
dont take this the bad way i just need a safer bet.
and with pickups without trying them first is one big bet. fftopic:

thanks for the help guys its kinda wierd to me that no one mentions trying the rio grande´s so im taking a long shot and gonna try out the seth in neck and BBQ bridge.

Safer bet but not big dollars? how does that go together?
Fralin does a 10k PAF on standard costs. Just a bet!

Re: seth bridge+ more power

The BBQ can be overly powerful and way too dark in the bridge for some people
