I have a guitar with an ash body. I’ve tried a few Duncan pups in the bride position—including a Duncan Custom—to try to beef up the tone when I use distortion, but I haven’t found a pup that works well so far. Any recommendations?

Thanks guys. I think I'll start looking for a TZ.
@Rebel: It's been a long time since I've considered using an SD. Last time I used one was in the 80's. Not my favorite pup...
@6string: I didn't know there was an AT sig pup. Interesting...
@Plon: Thanks for sharing your opinion. From what I've read on the JCF you do great work!

Tone Zone or Super Distortion. I do have the Super Distortion/Super 2 combo in my swamp ash Carvin SC90, and they work well. The Super 2 is brighter, but I like my neck pickups on the brighter side.
A Super 3 should be a good bridge pup for ash, too.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

The super 3 in ash is great, well with mine it's hard ash and maple neck so quite bright,
it tamed the ping but keeps the spank and adds a lot of girth and punch, midrange/bass.
btw, i paired it with a liquidfire and they worked perfectly for what i was trying to achieve, more bark less bite with smoother neck tones.
With the wood combination still plenty of pick attack brightness and cut's thru... everything.
With any other wood i don't know if i would like it as much?
