Shred/Metal pups
« on: January 07, 2008, 08:12:57 PM »
Looking to replace the brige humbucker and middle single coil in my ibanez s470 (neck position's going to be used up with a sustainiac).  Looking for some suggestions.

I pretty much always play with a lorry-load of distortion, scooped to high heaven, so what something that will complement this.  Not interested in clean sound, have other guitars for that.  I want a metal monster!

Are any of the BKP single's hum-cancelling stacked style?  I had a look and it seemed not but worth asking I guess, otherwise I'm thinking about a dimarzio fast track 2 for this position.

The bridge needs to be chunky basses and screaming harmonics, read alot about the ceramic warpigs, any other suggestions?

...

Of course I could always route the single coil cavity into another humbucker!

Woogie

The Miracle Man apparently is kinda scooped, but extremely powerful.

As for single coils; BKP doesn't make stacked ones, but they do some extraordinarily over-wound ones, like the UberSinner.

There was a thread around here recently about the UberSinner - check it out. It may just turn your crank   :D
BKP guitars:
Epiphone Dot Studio (NB bridge, MQ neck)
Gibson LP Studio (MM bridge, CS neck)

From what you described, I'd say Miracle Man. I'm REALLY happy with mine, and my criteria were not too different to yours.  Or a ceramic Warpig. Either would float your boat :)
