Favorite pickup for metal.

Curios what everyone uses. I mostly stay in E or D standard. I have a 93 RR1 dress swirl with instrumental sfty 4 set that sounds great on all my amps. Just put BKP VHII in my USA Dean far beyond driven ml. Really badass pickup.

Emg 81’s or death

I used 81’s since a kid. Started venturing out a year or so ago. My 80 les Paul custom has emg’s still.

Bareknuckle Ragnarock. I like others also like Wagner Ironman.

This pickup has an insane amount of magnet pull. So much that it made my strings buzz on the fretboard. I spoke to another guy who had the same issue.

I really like the PRS \m/ pickups. I traditionally played EMG, JB, standard stuff. I have tried others and didn't bond with them. Those PRS metal pickups are awesome. And I hate every other PRS pickup.

I use Lundgreds almost always at the moment. M series

Depends on the guitar. I dig the Afwayu, Ironman, Tonenerd Roxy, W8, and Shaw Dirty Fingers. Looking forward to trying the Psykes. Also love the Bill Lawrence L500XL.

I have used emg 81/85 in one les paul for over twenty years, I also like the dimarzio corgan set. My favorite is the BKP cold sweat set though.

Duncan distortion.

My Washburn D3’s have BL. I just bought a amp that has your name on the back.

I almost got the m6. I guess I need to check it out.

 

[headlessdeadguy]

MCP Solution, JB, Duncan Distortion and 500t. There isn’t one pickup that suits every guitar. I have a Het Set in a 70’s LPC copy that sounds amazing but I don’t like them in any other guitars.

Passive: SD JB (and SD Distortion)

They are very clear and articulate

Suhr Aldrich. Killer pickup for metal.

Ah you bought the MM Metropoulos that was on Reverb! Yes, Shea modded that one for me. It’s a beast of an amp, I hope you’re diggin it.
