Pups in Lp

Post by Hacken »

I have a Bach Lp Custom incoming.
I want good humbuckers and will wire them for coil-split option.
Recomend me something with enough power for hc/punk and sludgy death metal.
I tune in D and use Musket and Harbinger MkIII fuzzpedals for all dirt.

I kind of like this guy http://heavyair.co.uk/
Somebody might say Bareknuckle pickups but they are way too pricey.

Keep in mind BKP puts vat prices on their website so it's about 20% off, and sometimes going through a dealer gets you a better conversion rate (but not always, get a quote direct and from a dealer)

I've got a ceramic warpig in my bari LP and it is just sludge metal city...it's actually really overbearing when in the lower bari tunings but that's what I wanted.
You aren't tuning that low, but lot of the sludgey metal bands are actually using pretty low output PAF humbuckers for the extra clarity...LP's can sound too "warm" (see: muddy) , so you may want to look into something PAF-y... (black dog or riffraff by BKP)
I'm thinking about picking up a dimarzio 36th anniversary PAF myself, they are getting pretty great reviews and are cheap-ish.
There are some that call me...morningstaru?

Im in sweden so i have to pay the vat but no custom fees from UK.

Was actually thinking about something PAF-like but a little hotter and found a pair of these used for close to nothing.

They are really hot. Hotter then Super Distortion in my other guitar.

Yarr you can do just about anything short of Djent metal with an LP and a good set of PAFs.
Haven't tried the crunchy pats but I dig the GFS Mean 90 in my strat.

those 36th PAf seems nice and i found a good price for them too...

Maybye the low power from those arent such a big deal since i use .011-.056 gauge strings and only tune down one step.

BG pickups are sweet. Brian's a good dude and they sound great, and are pretty reasonably priced
