hey guys, im spyros. im playin the guitar for about 3 years or so
i have my ltd v-401(x2 emg81)since then...and im SICK of the emg's. back in the time i really liked my tone but now...i dont like it anymore. he sounds a little bit digital compared to other passives. also ive heard guitars with different woods(basswood/alder) with emg 81...and they sound almost the same. the only pickups ive used and are not actives, are the stock ones in some low-price jacksons that friends of mine own. i like their tone more than mine...they sound more ...natural? they just sound better to me, cant really describe it.
i found this forum while i was googling info about some pickups and since i found helpful info i decided to register and do some questions.
ive decided to change the emg's and move to passive pickups.
i wonder if u can help me choose some pickups
here's some info
1. I dont ever use cleans. i only care about having a good distorted sound, not cleans.
2. i play thru ux2 line6 and engl screamer combo
3. my gutiar is ltd v-401(mahogany body and rosewood fretboard)a tuneomatic bridge guitar.
4. i play technical death/thrash stuff. also some metalcore/melodeath
5. i love the sound of bands like, black dahlia murder(especially the lead guitars in the nocturnal album), REVOCATION, necrophagist, spawn of possession. Dave Davidson's sound is awesome.
6. i had in mind the following bridge pups : Dimarzio crunch lab/tone zone/super 3/evolution/d-activator/x2n and Seymour Duncan SH-6.
and neck : dimarzio paf pro/evolution/evolution II/liquifire or seymour duncan 59.
i want a "warm" sounding pickup in the bridge for progressive death/thrash stuff...that is agressive but doesnt sound so "digital" like the emg's. e.g..
i really like this tone
thats all..i hope u can help me because i dont have the oportunity to try the pickups
ps forgot to mention that im not interested in BK pickups because they;re far away from my budget.
