Pickup choice

[OD-Black_Fire]

For my next guitar, I'm probably going to grab a guitar with good craftsmanship under $1000 (ESP LTD's probably, those kick so much ass) and put some BKP's in it.


I can not buy many guitars in a short amount of time so I really need to be careful about what I buy. What would be the best humbucker for the bridge that can make a good chattery middy treblely compressed sound with low or medium amounts of distortion, but powerfull enough to get a good chunk with heavy gain?  Some people have described Miracle Mans as balanced and compressed sounding, but they are all talking about high-gain clips.


For the neck, I need a pickup that can make a great "spacey blues" sound.  It could be a soapbox in humbucker form. Clean, low powered, and rich.

Maybe a calibrated Black Dog set?

By Neck 'Spacey Blues' - I take it you mean something like early Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac sound - if so I really recommend an Alnico 4 neck Mississippi Queen (humbucker sized P90) - it really nails that tone so well and it works great with a humbucker in the bridge.
