bare knuckle trilogy suite vs cobra

[shalev98732]

so i got two guitars i want to put bkp single coils in, a fender mim standard strat sss (i currently have a super distortion in the brdge position rest is stock), and a jackson concept series hs which currently got a miracle man in the bridge and a hot rail in the neck.
i play mostly thrash metal, children of bodom, pantera, blues, souther rock and blues rock.
tim recommended me both of them.

I don’t want to sound like a dick or anything but if you’re getting advice right from Tim BKP I don’t know how much help we would be. I myself am interested in the impulse singles to throw in a strat. Idk if he still uses this site but maybe shoot zimbloth/nick from axe palace a pm or email

i understand you, but i said he recommended both, so im looking for insight on those pickups from people who have them

Cobra: less mids (more hot vintage sounding like an FS-1, no mids, rail design so better bends and volume, have two cobra's one in each HSH guitar, absolutely shines for everything including country. Noise is low)
Trilogy Suite: good but so what? Why fuck around when you can get Dimarzio HS3/HS4 for cheap or even better Seymour Duncan YJM.

Every time I've followed Tim's recommendation I didn't like the result so I definetely give him a pass.

tim's recommendation are good for me, he recommended me the miracle man and its one of my most favorite bridge pickups, he just always recommends more than 1, so its hard to choose since some pickups dont have a lot of sound clips or miss some sound clips on the site.

I've actually used both of these pickups. The Trilogy Suite was a lot brighter in a harsh way and definitely sounded like a single coil. It was pretty cool though and definitely made me want to play early heavy metal riffs. I would not like it for anything past 80's heavy metal though.
The cobra is one of my favorite pickups I've ever used. It has a modern EQ response and is certainly a little scooped but also is one of the clearest pickups I've ever used. It can do basically anything you want and is exceptionally responsive to picking dynamics.
I recorded my bands recent full length with a Cobra bridge and '63 Vaneer Board neck in a Fernades strat into the Fortin Cali Suite sim from Neural with Ownhammers Greenback IR's.
