what pickups do you guys use?

[+--deifiler--+]

hiya

in my maverick F-1, the pickups have already lost their magnetism, and been fixed.

it seems to be happening again... so im after a new bridge pickup

as you may guess im into metal ;)

anyone have any suggestions for some good pickups? i only really use the bridge

distortion is a must, and it takes a humbucker

i dont know whethers theres enough internal room for an active system, but please suggest active ones aswell

thanks! if poss, provide prices aswell :)

cheers!

Bartolini Nw-5's


custom made for an ibanez sr 5... standard on the limited editions :D

[metal=life]

i just got a EMG-81 pickup for my bridge

[EmperorMalignus]

on my epiphone Korina-SG special edition i have the "standard" hammbuckers on it.
I wanted to puts EMG's on it, but i'll wait, because i LOVE my bridge hammbucker:D

I HAVE EMG-89 ON MY "HOME MADE GUITAR"

AND SOME DIMARZIO SHIT ON MY IBANEZ JEM-555 (DON'T REALLY LIKE THE OVERALL SOUND) NOT ENOUGH SUSTAIN ON IT ALTHOUGHT I PREFER THE TOUCH THAN MY OTHER GUITAR EMG ARE THE BEST.

I Have seymour Duncan George Lynch Screamin Demons on my bridge
for my ibanez and Seymour duncan Hot Rails on the middle and neck positions
for my ibanez......
And for my BC RIch NJ Bich, I have EMG 81's.......

But I preffer my Ibanez better than my BC RICH cuz my Ibanez has a comfy neck
and I use it for solo's......My BC Rich is ok but its too heavy when I'm gigin'.

since I've gotten my gibson I love the sound of their pickups.. I'm changing the neck pickup in my SG to a 500T and my strat copy i'm converting from triple coils to an EMG 81 and 85.. But now i'm thinking about not using the 85 and going with like a 490R alinco or another rythym pickup.. Anyone know what it sounds like to just go with 2 lead pickups?

MIDNIGHT YOU HAVE THE COOLEST AVATAR ON EARTH.... I ATTEMPTED TO STEAL IT FROM A GUY AT SLAYERIZED.COM BUT IT WAS TOO LARGE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EDIT .GIF I THINK I NEED FLASH MACROMEDIA OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

DAMN THAT GUY WAS MY HEROE WHEN I WAS 5 YEARS OLD

[Midnight]

hahaha.. thanks delete.. I figured i'd get shit for it.. Michael was damn smooth.. I had a friend of mine edit it.. I can't remember what program he used.. uhh.. some .gif animator I think it was that he used.. and i'm pretty sure adobe was the one that made the program.. I dont' remember.. but yeah.. I remembered that I had it buried in a directory and had a friend host it for me and ta-dah Michael bustin' his smooth criminal moves as my avatar..

[Def]

and who's responcible for hosting such an avatar?

right on :)

[Midnight]

I was going to list you as the masked avatar hoster.. BUT .. I wasn't sure if you wanted 30 metaltabbers asking you to host avatars for them..haha But yes my friend DEF the beast did host it for me.. he deserves all the credit for using school bandwith haha

[Def]

your welcome man, anytime.

school bandwith rules :)

Nobody answered my question.. does no one know or did no one notice it? I was just wondering what it sounds like to go with 2 lead pickups? I figured it might sound kind of interesting during solo's because I could switch between the two and get two different sounds.. But I don't know what it would sound like with both of them going at once.. Anyone ever heard a guitar with 2 leads?

In the Warlock, I have a Di Marzio Tone Zone in the bridge and a Di Marzio Air Norton in the neck. In the Warrior I have EMG 81's.
