Re: thick distortion
If you want thick distortion for the bridge, Go for the SD Custom Custom or the Dimarzio Breed. You want it for the neck i see, The alnico II pro neck or the Dimarzio Breed neck.

Re: thick distortion
well actually bridge pickups are made bassier to compensate for the tonal loss for strings near the bridge (hence lesser vibrations of the strings)
so the tone at the neck always seems thicker and rounder.
as for thick pups for the neck, the a2ph and the breed neck and the air norton should work for u at the neck.

Re: thick distortion
In the video where the one guitarist shows his equipment he just tell something about the bridge pub's which are a Super Distortion and a JB. I think they're not playing the neck often. Thursday play JB in bridge and i've heard in the neck too, but i'm not sure about this all. Finch has a very processed guitar tone imo with very much guitar tracks i think. But they lay all "fatter" guitars.
This thick distortion is more an issue of the amp and procession (right word?).
If you have a bridge pub you like ou maybe should tell us what it is and the guys here can tell you which balances well with your bridge pub!

Re: thick distortion
The 'screamo' tone:
High gain tube amp + Les Paul or SG with aftermarket pickups = Fat Distortion.
All those bands have pretty top notch equipment, if I were you I'd start with saving up for a good (tube)amp. If you already have a good amp I'd suggest a guitar without a trem to get a chunkier/fatter tone. I feel that my Ibanez sounds trebly even with duncans in it, it sounds amazing with the JB but is lacking in the oomph/chunk departement.
I don't know what you have in the bridge but I'd suggest a DDn, that one has fat distortion for in the neck position, it's quite hot so you would want something hot in the bridge as well to keep it from overpowering.

Re: thick distortion
In general a lot of bands with that kind of sound all play on Gibby's and ESP's through any kind of high gain amp (most of the time a TSL or Recto). Most of them use Duncans too...and Super Distortions in the case of Thrice.

Re: thick distortion
Try getting a Gibson 498 Hot Alnico and replace the alnico 5 magnet with a ceramic. I did this and it was the thickest, fullest sounding p-up I have ever heard. The best part was it has clarity.

Re: thick distortion
i would post this in the dimarzio fourm but it looks to crowded. ne ways i found a pick up called humbucker from hell (yes its dimarzo) . it looks to be exactly what i want (a non bassy neck pick up for good hard crunchy distortion) would this be a good choice to complement my '59 in the bridge? and would it give me that thrice used thrusday screamo sound?
thanx guys & girls 2
