Title: Shred/Metal pups
Post by: Chonker on January 07, 2008, 08:12:57 PM
Looking to replace the brige humbucker and middle single coil in my ibanez s470 (neck position's going to be used up with a sustainiac).  Looking for some suggestions.

I pretty much always play with a lorry-load of distortion, scooped to high heaven, so what something that will complement this.  Not interested in clean sound, have other guitars for that.  I want a metal monster!

Are any of the BKP single's hum-cancelling stacked style?  I had a look and it seemed not but worth asking I guess, otherwise I'm thinking about a dimarzio fast track 2 for this position.

The bridge needs to be chunky basses and screaming harmonics, read alot about the ceramic warpigs, any other suggestions?

...

Of course I could always route the single coil cavity into another humbucker!

The Miracle Man apparently is kinda scooped, but extremely powerful.

As for single coils; BKP doesn't make stacked ones, but they do some extraordinarily over-wound ones, like the UberSinner.

There was a thread around here recently about the UberSinner - check it out. It may just turn your crank   :D

From what you described, I'd say Miracle Man. I'm REALLY happy with mine, and my criteria were not too different to yours.  Or a ceramic Warpig. Either would float your boat :)
