ok, I'm thinking about getting a different set of pickups in a KV2 that I'll be purchasing, but I'm not sure about how a few of these above mentioned pickups will perform in a B tuned setting.
1. I've been told that the Bill Lawrence L500XL are AMAZING, but sound thin in anything except mahogany and might not sound good for the detuned metal.
2. haven't heard much about the Dimarzio D Sonic, I had an X2N YEARS ago in an old RG550, liked it then. again, haven't heard too much, but they say that the D Sonic is built for B tuning and Recto's [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
3. Duncans are a bit of a mystery to me. I've had Invaders, I like them but they're just too much low-end, anything above like the D string seems to sound so........blah as opposed to the rest of the guitar. What should I be looking at? should I stick with the JB's for a bit?
to sum it all up, I want a nice high output pickup that won't mud up in my setup. I want punch, something that's good for palm-muting madness but also bust out the squeelin' pinch harmonics. I DON'T need "more low end", this isn't one of THOSE posts, but I do want to retain much of the low end that I'm pushing, hence why I'm not using Invaders.
like I said I haven't actually got this guitar yet, I'm just pickup shopping [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
any comments, suggestions?
thanx in advance guys!
oh and if it helps we sound like a mix of Immolation/Morbid Angel/Gorguts/Nile..............
