2 My new jackson Sl2 with 2 Humbuckers: Duncan JB and '59
I'm injured 3 month allready so don't pay attention pls for my bad playing
I playing here over My Vox Amp and Digitech Df7 pedal with same setings on bridge pickups on booth guitar
The thing is i like the Cheap Esp bridge pickup sound better for ne like the sound on my Sl2..To me sound on Esp more powerfuel and cutting{treble} like the sound on my Jackson
what is you advice to sound more like the Esp do??? Change pickups on my Sl2??? or just try to play more with the setings knobs??? or just try to put the pickup a little down-up???? or i blame my self and the jackson pickup sound better???

Those bands play the Sh-4 because they like it's characteristics. It's warm sounding, it does not have very much heights because it has very much output for a Alnico V pickup. If you want a brutal tone out of it you will need a crushing amp with enough distortion.
