Title: best pickups for gibson les paul studio????
Post by: CHRISTIAN on December 20, 2012, 02:11:00 PM
i have great guitar i like very much, i play a lot of higain, detuned (b) strings 0.52-012, my favorite bans are( tool, russian circle, sevendust, godsmack, alice in chains, alter bridge, disturbed,)

I seek a sound with a high gain but is itself defined, my guitar has ebony fretboard, use low tunings, very clean and use pink floyd style delay, but I will not sacrifice the clean channel distortion, I watched many pickups, I like "Miracle Man", "Nailbomb" and "Holy Diver", please help which I recommend, sorry for my English is very bad, greetings and thank you very much friends.

I hope your help, thanks.

Out of that selection I voted for Miracle Man. But since you have an amp with rather high gain and you want to tune down, consider the Rebel Yell as well.

I would get the Holy Diver or Miracle Man for bands like Tool or AiC but alter bridge is definately a nailbomb job.
That said, they'd all suit very nicely but I'd probably push towards the miracle man.

I really like the "miracle man", I hope I have a conclusion is correct, my amp mesa boogie roadster is known for its rich mids sound, and my gibson les paul mahogany also has means for its rather high, i need to mitigate those means do not let me define my chords, I think for the equalization miracle Man help me subtract means my les paul and my mesa boogie, compensate all the sound and he gains much definition at all, agree with me, they think you about this????

miracle man into rectifier = instant alter bridge

I'd switch the power tubes for el34's to get more low end definition, though

I like the EL34, but I like a lot but the cleanest of the 6L6, I think it's much of the sound I want, I think there are many better, but this I like, I like very much, and I think I'll go for the miracle man, and perhaps also by a holy diver as a second option to be second choice for another guitar, you say this, you think????

because rectos have quite a large amount of kinda loose low end. And the Nailbomb also has quite a loose low end in comparison to the miracle man.

It just wont be that tight overall unless boosted

I'll throw my 2 cents in since I have BKP Rebel Yells in a mohagany PRS SE, (it does have a maple top), into a Mesa Dual Rectifier.

I have to tell you that the guitar/pickup/amp combo is simply amazing. Push the amp with a slight boost pedal and you have an Enormous Sound that, while deadly in the punch department, has incredible raunchy mids with just enought hair and sizzle, (amazing for leadwork). The set up while hotter than hell in the dirt department is still amazingly articulate with awesome roll off.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Tom

I had the exact same guitar and amp as you! Except I replaced the Roadster with an Axe Fx II  :D
In my studio silverburst I installed a Holydiver and it absolutely slays! I tried selling my guitar at one point but couldn't let it go because I liked the sound too much.
The Holydiver in that les paul is very articulate and detailed. Then again, I don't play in drop B, but mostly drop C#. Still, the  holydiver retains clarity in drop B when I tried it, but if you're strictly in that tuning, I would perhaps suggest something that will handle the lows better.
