Isn't the Seymour Duncan Slug for Doom? Never tried it but it's supposed to be fat and huge sounding
Massive sounding pup. I had one in a white baritone SG a while back when the Slug was a Custom Shop only.
It definitely works great for doom and sludge-y stuff, but it wasn't as unruly as I had anticipated it being, thankfully.
It definitely got those fat heavy Baroness types of tones with some good fuzz engaged.

😂

Not yet, but I greatly appreciate all the suggestions here and it has been helpful to me. I'm currently think that Duncan Distortion in the bridge and a 59 in the neck may work for me, based on sound samples and what folks have said here, but I'm not 100% settled on it. They are available and affordable, so I may just grab a set and even if I don't like them, keep them as a backup set for another guitar.

Buy em and try em, then you know for sure. Sell or trade for the next attempt if required.

Now go!
