Members Crunchtime Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Sorry, I'm sure this has been covered but, Want to reamp my LP. Want tight, thick, cruchy, non muddy metal tone for bridge. Want smooth but not underpowered next to bridge for neck. I do like actives but like passives too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scratchie Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Safe choice is a Dimarzio Super Distortion & a PAF pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mesa/Kramer Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Lot's of guys have raved about the Suhr Aldrich Pickup for Les Paul's. I like my 498T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iff Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Heard lots of good things about the Duncan Distortion as LP bridge pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members missingastring Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Suhr Aldrich, Duncan JB, or BKP Rebel Yell in the bridge. For the neck, a BKP Mule, a BG Lizard, or a Seth Lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ke2 Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 "Best pickup"-thread = as many different answers as there are participants in the thread I don't like the JB in mahogany, I like the EMG 81. In my old Strat, the Aldrich was a step down in fatness when I swapped my Rio Grande BBQ for it. In an LP, it might work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stesh Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 I think ceramic pickups works great in les paul's, in the past I have had a duncan custom and a kent armstrong rocker (when he was doing hand wounds) both work really great. These days I'm using an Irongear dirty torque which is Alnico 5 which I really like but its not metal in anyway its not tight enough for that but does get me closer to the sound im after which is somewhere between AIC and COC heavy chunky sound! For metal sound though I would go with ceramic pickups like the distortion, custom or emg 81! IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jshaffer20 Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 This sounds crazy but get a set of Dragonfire Screamers ($28 or so) and get an A8 magnet for the bridge. It seriously sounds incredible. Better than my guitars with JB's in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members afxwinter Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 I've got an 81/60 combo in my LP and it's pretty awesome for metal.It seems to make it really easy to cut through any mix.The output is nice and hot so I don't have to crank the gain as much as with my passives.They're also extremely smooth, not grainy/grindy like my passives.
