i'm with philly and twinfan. not to say that BKPs might not improve it, but they might not, and if they don't, you're out ~£200.

I am a recovering Wolfgang collector.  :lol:

Always thought the stock pups were fine until on a whim I tried several DiMarzio models.
Settled on Tone Zone bridge, Air Zone neck.
HUGE improvement in clarity over stock.
Then I found Bare Knuckle.
Nailbomb bridge, Cold Sweat neck again were a vast improvement over the DiMarzios.

So even though I'm in the minority, I say go with the Bare Knuckle pups and retain the originals for collector value if you ever happen to sell.
BKPs: Nail Bombsss, Mississippi Queen, BKP-91, Cold Sweat, mystery humbucker, Supermassive

funny you should say that, i have a NB and CS in the PRS... been thinking of trying something a little more agrressive and brighter soo.... wouldn't be much of a thing to switch the PU's over into the axis and try them

Yeah, I'd highly recommend a quick swap (I didn't realise you already owned some candidates)...

Whenever I do it, I learn an awful lot about both the guitars and the pickups, how they relate to each other, and what they can do for me...

(Of course, it usually means I end up buying more BKPs for the first guitar, another guitar to try some different options, more BKPs, more... etc... :roll: :lol:)
