I'm looking for a versatile bridge pickup for my Gibson Explorer. I need something that can do everything from classic rock to metal. I was considering the SH-6, but after some research it sounds like it may be too aggressive. Then there is always the JB, which is versatile and I have tried before...but I want to go for something different this time.
I'll be playing in E standard through an Orange Dual Terror, with a Bad Monkey for a boost. I have an RS modern kit in the guitar with 500k pots. I currently have a Bare Knuckle Miracle Man in the bridge and it's tuned to C#, but I've decided to go a different route with this guitar.
For the metal side of things I'll be mainly playing Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, & Iron Maiden. For classic rock it will mainly be Led Zep, AC/DC, Sabbath, Skynyrd, etc. Will the SH-5 work in a thick mahogany guitar like an Explorer and meet my tone needs? Any other pickups that will work better? Thanks for any suggestions on advance.
