Title: BKP version of Suhr Aldrich
Post by: NickyD on February 22, 2010, 11:38:31 PM

Anyone had any experience with the Suhr Doug Aldrich pick ups?

What would you say is The Closest BKP  to that sound?

A Miracle Man with an alnico 5 magnet
The neck position MM is just such a beast
I asked Tim babout the Aldrich pickup and that is what he suggested

never played the aldrich, but the holy diver can sound A LOT like doug
the nailbomb might have a similar output to the suhr pup, but I don't it as middy as the aldrich

Ummmmm..... Let me resurrect this thread.......

I have a basswood Suhr Modern that I swapped out Aldirchs for Miracle Mans in. They are absolutely nothing alike, at least in that particular guitar. The Aldrich's were tight, but had a harsh upper-mid thing going on that didn't work for me. The MM's have way more of a modernized metal sound, and are not the least bit harsh. The highs and mids are present, and the bass is balls tight on the MM. They fixed the guitar.

I've been wondering how the Aldrichs would sound in a different guitar, but I can't put them in my LP. Suhr cut way too much lead wire in the factory, and they're 53mm.
