what pickups do you guys use?

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!

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?

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.
