SD Noumenon
SD Brobucker (I have one)
SD 78 (I have one)
SD Perpetual Burn
SD PATB-3
I have tried all the Dimarzio's that i want to and not many stuck.....Just not a fan of most.

The Seth neck is the real star.

I do have some interest in trying the Fishman Fluence classics, now that I think about it, even though the internet seems to have gotten over its initial fascination with them.

BKP: abraxas, holy diver, sultans, irish tours, trilogy suite

i use the bridge more than i use the neck, but it is a great set all around
I could do the whole set just on the neck pickup!

I've never tried any of the Bare Knuckle offerings.... They have such cool names though.

I've been spinning my wheels thinking about a lot of these pickups. It's been 15+ years since I've played a JB but I think it's the sound I want in one of my HS strats. I've toyed with the idea of the JB, Suhr SSH+, Suhr Aldrich, DiMarzio AT-1, and the Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell. I hadn't even considered the Thrash Factor or the Alex Skolnick.
Another set I've been regularly tempted by is the Saturday Night Special set, but I haven't anything to install them in. The guitars they'd be a good fit for are settled as far as pickups go.
It's funny you say this... I had a Rebel Yell in the bridge of my Explorer for the last few years. Recently started recording some rhythm tracks with it and the guitar sound wasn't sitting right. I put my old Cold Sweat back in and presto, the whole thing came together. They're very similar sounding pickups, but the RY is more "bouncy" and has a little bit more in the mids, while the CS is firmer and has a little bit more high end definition on the attack. Pretty subtle differences, but they aren't changes I could accomplish 100% with EQ tweaks. I guess I've found that those little minor things are sometimes more noticeable or critical in a mix than they are in isolation.

The Stag Mag begs to be the bridge pup in an HSS Stratocaster. Split, in pos #2, and full on in pos #1. You need an HSS Strat.
For those who mentioned:
The PATB-3, it's a sweet pup. I'd say, the PATB-3, is to the PATB-1, what the Slash A2 Pro is to the A2 Pro. Kinda, sorta.
The Fluence Open Core Classics. I did a partial trade with Frank Falbo for set of these, and some cash, for my older Ibby RG-something. (He's restored it to gorgeous.) Can't wait to find the right home for these.
I really want to try the Mark Holcomb Scarlet & Scourge set. They are an almost perfect match, cosmetically, for the stock pups in my Peavey Predator, and I can't help but think that they might bring my Kahler Flyer Predator back to life.
I'd also like to try the Custom Shop AH Metal Fatigue in a bridge-only axe.
I'd love to try the Stormbringer set, which replicates one of my favorite Blackmore eras- '74-76. You can see it on Reverb.

That's not a bad price for a Custom Shop set. Just a bit over a bill per pup.

I'd like to try those in this page (original ones, not copies):

I had a triple Duckbucker strat, but I think a VR would be even better.
cool stuff!
