I'll suggest, nailbomb bridge and Cold Sweat Neck from bareknucle, screaming fusion and metal bridge with fat and warm jazzy neck, that sings with high gain distortion too, I've also wired them with an on-off-on switch to split inner coils-humbuckers-outher coils, the single coil sounds are amazing
in this clip you can here all the sounds it can produce apart from bridge full humbacker

Here's the thing Matt,
no matter what gear you use you'll ALWAYS shape your tone using EQs, some players like more midds for better cut through the mix but those midds you hear are most likely not midds from pickups. To get complete overwiev or comparation between pickups you would have to use same guitar on same amp with same EQ settings and then you could eventually realize the difference or character of pickups. Everything else that you hear on recordings are not pickup only, there are too many factors that are dealing with the tone. And is think of trebs by talking about hard edge than I assure you, these pickups have tons of trebs, it's just that I'm not huge fan of trebs all the time and so I cut them a bit on EQ.  -------------------- Youtube

I can't really afford bareknuckles at the moment, but I'll keep them in mind if I upgrade my pickups in the future.

QUOTE (Matt23 @ Jul 23 2009, 05:07 PM) I think Stan's pickups are great for lead, but they don't sound good for rhythm imo. And after reading a few reviews i think I'm not the only one. Matt that's nonsense I'm afraid, I do A LOT of pro work with my guitar, recording session, gigs etc and I can get almost any type of sound that I want, rhythm sounds included of course. Bare in mind, it's not just pickups that gives you the tone, your hands have a great role as well, the way you pick, the way you fret etc. Now, I would like to see those reviews, must be some uber experienced players who wrote them, no offense.

Matt, guitar is complex instrument
and lead playing shouldn't be much separated from rhythm playing. With more experience you'll learn how to handle both using the same sound when needed. My point is, would be wrong to expect from pickups to fix all eventual sound issues that you might have atm, pickups ARE important but player is even more important. One other thing, your taste for sound could change as the time goes, actually it happens to many guys all the time. And with fine pickups (wide sound range of transmitting and wide dynamics) you should be able to dial your tone without too many problems. But those midds, trebbs, attack etc are not determined by pickups only, remember that.
