duncan distortions and custom 5s pop up around 40$ from time to time. those are both quite good for chugs/br00tz as well.
What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

Oh yea, I'm used to reading prices with commas so it didn't even occur to me. I just mean more like, since I'm in Japan, what pedal (presumably of Japan origin) is worth $350 used + $90 in customs fees. And in that case I should probably also buy it

So the Hagstrom came in and it actually sounds fucking killer. Plays like a beast, too. Probably the most shreddy Les Paul I've ever play with insanely low action.
I'm also probably gonna end up keeping it passive. Use it as a test bed to try different passive pickups.
Starting with the DiMarzio Super 3. I know @KnightBrolaire hates this pickup, but I'm fucking curious.,

I don't hate it per se, I just like it the least out of every pickup I've tried in my shootout. It's an ok pickup. It's good for stuff like The Sword/Kyuss/Pelican/etc, but that's about it imo.So the Hagstrom came in and it actually sounds fucking killer. Plays like a beast, too.

I just remember you saying you weren't to fond of it, so I kinda avoided it. But man, I just need to try it. It's just been one of those passives I've ALWAYS been curious about.

well if you don't dig it, at least used dimarzios are pretty easy to get rid of, so there's that

Kinda true? The Super 3 seems to kinda pop up slow and sell kinda slow.
But yeah, I definitely need to give the Super 3, Dominion, and Titan a try.

nah, I'll save you the trouble, just buy the dominion and skip the others.

All roads lead to the Dominion
the Titan is great and I've yet to try a Super 3, but the Dominion just can't be beaten IMO

Even though I shouldn't spend money right now, all the HM-2 talk got me wanting a Throne Torcher. A batch finally popped up on their site and since its such a pain to keep checking the site to see what pedals hes building currently, I just caved in and bought one. And it looks like I got the last one too so I guess I'm glad lol.

I have been curious about the Dominion also, but I have always been curious about the D-Sonic for years. I keep thinking about picking one up to try.All roads lead to the Dominion

both of those are really good pickups imo. Can't really go wrong with either.

Well at the moment its still those 3 pickups, or a BKP Cold Sweat, Painkiller, or Elysian Trident

There's a run on Elysian pickups currently including the Trident I and IIs. Not sure if any are still available but worth a shot. Search for it on Facebook.

that's a big spread soundwise lol. I'd say scratch the painkillers unless you're putting em in a darker sounding guitar, they're obnoxiously bright. They also have this hairy/fizzy quality to the high end and their cleans suck dick. They are pretty tight feeling though, they chug and scream with utter ease, so if you want all br00tz all the time, they're good for that. The neck is nice for leads but not quite as good as say the jugg neck or the cold sweat, both of those excel at liquidy smooth lead tones and sweeps, etc.
Can't comment on the cold sweat bridge yet, but the neck is excellent for liquidy shred leads and has nice cleans. think liquifire but clearer sounding basically.
Tridents are def one of my favorite pickups. Tight low end, snarly mids, very clear sounding, great split sounds, really good cleans. Trident II is even snarlier in the mids and higher output.

Oh, yeah. I paid $350. I didn't remember there were some weird rules about typing prices in English. In Finnish, commas are only used for cents.
I traded it for this CL100, I love Science with all my being and Alex is amazing, Ive just lusted after VHT's for so long I had to jump on it!
When I get it Ill be able to tell you how it compares to the Hellhawk and the Decolonizer Ive had!

I may just bite the bullet and wait for a used Dominion to pop up. Might as well get the best option first since everyone and their cat seems to love it.
Also forgot about the Dean Baker Act. Supposed to be a cool pickup as well. Kind of a meaner JB apparently?
