I would think about some variation of these. I really like the stock ones in my HSS Strat for now, but if I were going to buy some this would probably be where I would go. I love the tone and versatility that Mirus can get and this is what he uses. They don't seem to be good for shred metal though. But that really isn’t my thing any more.
http://www.stanhinesleypickups.com/index.htm -------------------- "Think of a guitar solo as a paragraph. You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato

Well it is just my opinion, but I haven't had the option of hearing ever pickup that he makes. I really like the ones I have heard. No offence meant. Really like yours. I just haven't heard any of them do that stuck in a tube, no midrange and all bass chunk chunk sound. No problem at all. It is truth that I don't use "heavy" tone for my lessons, that's what gives it the versatility,too much gain and scooped tone wouldn't let you play many things nicely. But pickup isn't the only thing you need to get wanted tone, whole gear has to be set properly,preamp,amp,pedals,cabinet etc. Generally,if you wanna shred then you need high-output pickup. Now check out YJM,he uses vintage pickups,not too loud,singles,noiseless tho. Speaking of output,Rogue is tooo loud imho. On the other hand,you can forget about Tele/Strat funk tone on high-output pickup. That's why I went to single in neck on my custom. I miss humb here and there but you just can't have it all 100%,mission impossible. EDIT:just noticed that chunk,chunk sound you're talking about. Well,Rogue on my custom through Triaxis and 2:90, that's pure metal thing if you like,it's just that I'm not pure metalhead.

I had some similar thoughts when I was trying to customize one of my guitars. I wanted to combine raw power with a sweet clean sound and I found a combination that you might find interesting:
Gibson Dirty Fingers: http://www.gibson.com/Products/Accessories...20Fingers%20(1) Gibson Burstbucker Pro: http://www.gibson.com/Products/Accessories...0Pro%20%281%29/ I had to cancel the project however so I never came closer than actually listening to sound clips and discussing them with my local shop. But it might serve as a little input. -------------------- Leijon, Sweden
Guitars: Taylor T5 Standard S1 Fender Classic Series '60s Custom Telecaster with Bigsby Amp Fishman Loudbox Mini Stuff: Boss ME 80 multieffect Zoom Player 2020 (yeah!) sore fingers... |
