Just this one question:
Which pickup do you think will get me as close as possible to chuck's sound (on Death's Symbolic album) on a maple neck-thru guitar (aside from the obvious x2n)?

cheers

Miracle Man.

Edit: Actually what era of Death are you talking about?

^ Symbolic - sound of perserverance

I still say Miracle Man.

Won't the MM have too little midrange?

Just turn up the mids on the amp :lol: X2N is for a more scooped tone, and that's what Chuck used.

Edit: you might even want to look at a Ceramic Warpig or Alnico Warpig.

There's a clip of Crystal Mountain with a Warpig

I´m a fan of Death. I can get very close to Chucks tone with the MM...the MM have that roar to it and very metal kida pickup ...open and Organic just as the overall feeling on Symbolic. I can't speak for the Warpig though but clip is ok.

^ Now, this poses a dilemma.
do you use a marshall valvestate, like chuck, to get your tone?
