For basswood I use the VHII in the bridge.

Really good pickup

That is my pink guitar.

It is a custom alder body with a USA strat neck from the 90's. Schaller Floyd and sperzels.

Pickups are Sultans and a VHII, which I originally had in a basswood Ibanez. They sound awesome in both Alder and Basswood.

  I love pink guitars. My HM Strat is pink and btw the HOLY DIVER I just put into it sounds awesome! Sounds as described...a boutique hi-fi version of the 80s Hair pickup which is exactly what I wanted. The high end is fierce and clear and juicy. Never heard an A5 with high end this clear, and the pickup rolls off volume perfect...absolutely perfect. Thanks all!

Good choice. HD does well in alder bolt-on guitars. Keeps things beefy. I was already a bit worried you gonna put the bright Emerald in this guitar. I think the Emerald needs a darker sounding Les Paul or SG.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

I have the HD in a walnut bodied guitar. Very good pickup.
