Title: Neck pickup for a Holydiver bridge?
Post by: joyouswolf on July 12, 2011, 02:33:45 PM

I think I've found the bridge pickup I'm looking for (Holydiver) but, I'm not sure about the Holydiver neck pickup with the boosted mid range EQ. I think the VH II neck might be more up my alley any suggestions?

HD neck is not a mid heavy pickup, it is without doubt one of the best neck pickups out there! beautiful cleans as well, have a listen to the sound clips the HD, VHII and CS would all do a great job paired with the HD bridge.

I think all three mentioned match the HD. Personally I like the clips of the neck VHII very much. But the CS is reckoned to a nice neckpu too.

I have the HD set in a Carvin Bolt-T+ (Alder Body and Maple neck) and the neck PU is awesome.  It is not a mid-heavy neck PU at all!! Very open sounding as matter of fact even with high gain!!!
