ONE neck pickup to rule them all!

[oceansandatlantic]

Okay not really but I have a jaguar hh with a rosewood board and the coil blend feature.
I have a holy diver in the bridge and am purchasing a neck bkp.
I think it's going to be between a black dog and vh ii
I'm going to be using the coil blend a lot and play anything rock. Alternative.
This is kind of the tone I'm shooting for but humbucker

I haven't heard much about the black dog pickup
I know the vh ii got great reviews everywhere i see it.
An it has been recommended to me more than a few times.
I was actually about to order it when the black dog popped into my head.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks all.

Here is my review on the Black Dog neck: https://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=29163

Even though I have not posted a dedicated review on the VHII neck I do make comparisons in the linked thread because I had both pickups in the same guitar.

The VHII produces a much fatter tone in comparison to the Black Dog which has a stronger, more focused mid range. Both make excellent partners to the Holydiver however the VHII neck is better suited to coil blend due to the wind of it's coils.

You'd do well to consider an Emerald neck. It's absolutely sublime with a Holydiver in the bridge.
