Title: What pickup should I get?
Post by: dshiznit0011 on January 18, 2010, 04:28:30 PM

Hey guys, this is my first post here!  I just recently got an agile septor pro 725 which is maple neck-thru w/ mahogany wings, and I've decided to replace the pickups with bareknuckles.  I play all kinds of metal, and I'm looking for a pickup that is heavy as hell but very tight and defined on chords.  I've been recomended a warpig, a miracle man, and a cold sweat, but I'm not sure which one would be the best.  Which one do you guys think would suit me the best?
Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Welcome to the boards.

Can you try and be a bit more specific about the sounds? There are a few that may work (though I dont think the WP is what your after if you want a shiteload of definition). MM and cold sweat are really different pickups. PK, nailbomb and c-bomb might work; it really depends how you want the sound.

I'm not too sure the exact thing I'm looking for, I dont want it to be muddy at all under heavy distortion, and I want it to be very tight for a lot of start and stop stuff.  I guess the closest guitarist that I would want it to sound like is Misha Mansoor (Bulb).

Painkillers then.

I believe Misha uses them anyway.
