Max_Powers Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Really late on this one. But check out this company called Bareknuckle. Either the Warpig model or Miracle Man model. They will both blow your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebun Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) couple years back i had a pretty heavy sound in a washburn V dualHB a dimarzio super D in the bridge and a emg 81 passive in the neck i r love the super D the emg was nice for a passive neck position crisp i would call it Edited March 2, 2006 by ebun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samba Pa Ti Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 lol a little late imo the warpig is a bit overrated (never tried but heard demos) can get a similar sound out of GFS humbuckers for half/3 quarters the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Before you slag of the warpig try one GFS pickups are ok. But me and a friend did a blind install and trial (ie he installed em i tried em) with three different humbuckers (a dimarzio, a bare knuckle and a gfs) all with black plastic covers over them. The gfs came off the worst shall we say. Not bad for the money, but imo not a match for the big guns. As for gibson pickups, overpriced rubbish imo As with all pickups best bet is to try em out. Dimarzio and SD tend to have a return it if you dont like it policy, so they are probably good to go with. Start with the usual pickups (yer JB's and what not) and go on to other things depending on where you want your sound to go. The websites tend to be pretty good at describing what they sound like. And the SD tonw wizard will probably give you some ideas. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Pa Ti Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 personally i never liked the sound (warpig) for 'heavy rock' the most impressive part is when somone puts some effects over it [url="http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/download.php?id=528"]http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/download.php?id=528[/url] personally i dont listen to that sort of rock music so my view on 'heavy' is a bit different i lean more towards the classic rock style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth_fiend Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 dimarzio x2n or evolutions are very good for metal or hard rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyldbil Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 The Bill Lawrence L-500-XL is the pickup the Dimebucker is modeled after. It was Dime's main pickup pretty much forever. [url="http://www.billlawrence.com/Pages/Pickup_Window/500.htm"]http://www.billlawrence.com/Pages/Pickup_Window/500.htm[/url] It is a monster pickup for about 1/2 the price of a Dimebucker.
