I am sure that not alot of bro's will agree with me but I think you should try the Duncan Invader. To me, it sounds like a JB that has been on the "juice" longer then Hulk Hogan was. More everything. bottom, mids and highs with killer harmonics and don't believe what you hear... it cleans up really well.

what i think i will try is the duncan custom.
read this from the duncan site,

DUNCAN CUSTOM
SH-5/TB-5 -- Beef up the sound of the Patent Applied For pickup and you get a hard-driving, kicking sound with just the right balance of power, sustain, and distortion. This pickup cuts through with a distinctive high end and midrange attack.
sounds like a VH on steriods pup to me huh?

I've got a DiMarzio Norton in my '89 Dinky that I really like. It's got a nice midrange punch to it and it doesn't seem to be overly hot on the output or the treble content. It might be a pickup to consider, despite the rather dorky-sounding name. You can find the specs at DiMarzio's site.

Which one is more of a metal pickup, a duncan custom or a custom custom?

Re: VH on steriods tone with a 25th ann,

the custom custom has more output. i think the custom 5 sounds nicer than both. still, i would have to say my favorite is the 'evh' lower output pickups usually get sweeter tone. for more balls, turn up your amp!! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">the custom has a tighter bass and is more aggressive
for metal stuff [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">hey that aint always the answer [img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img] if you need more low end or if you need the bass tighter cranking it alone wont do it [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
as far as more balls, the stock EVH does not have any balls, good tone yes but balls? not in this lifetime [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
the duncan custom is the EVH times 3 [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
