Pickup recommendation for ash body
« on: October 09, 2024, 07:36:39 AM »
Hi!
Im currently planning a custom 6 string build and can’t decide which bridge pickup to put in. This guitar will be build to play deathcore/hardcore in drop A#, Im looking for crushing tight brutal rhythm tone, with fast attack and big oomph on the palm mutes. Something that sounds big but not muddy.

Specs
Body: Ash
Neck: Maple/walnut
Scale: 26.5

I've been looking at Aftermath, Juggernaut, Ragnarok and Warpig. Pretty sure all of them will get me in that ballpark, but not sure which will give me the best result in an ash body.

I really like both the ceramic Warpig and the Ragnarok for this kind of application - plenty of big, muscular low mids, but a nice tight and controlled feel from the ceramic magnets.
Hi all, yes, it's another Tim! I'll be here to answer any questions you want to throw at me, here or via sales@bareknucklepickups.co.uk
