El Dangerouso Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 For me, at least at the moment, I'm prefering hum-hum: Bridge: Dimarzio Tone Zone Neck: Dimarzio Air Norton Master volume, tone with treble bleed, three way blade with blend knob in middle position I'd love to hear other folks flavors of the month/year. Let the games begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 EMG 81 in the bridge, EMG 85 in the neck, 2 volume pots, no tone, 3 way toggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chennik Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 H-H: Bill Lawrence L500XL (or Duncan Dimebucker) in bridge, Duncan JB in the neck, 1 Meg Volume pots... Screams like no tomorrow. Gotta have coil taps for the cleans though, otherwise, these pickups are way too hot... This is the most fascinating passive combo I've had for hard rock and metal, you also get great bright lead tone from having a phase switch on there and putting them out of phase. H-S-S: Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge, Bill Lawrence L298 middle and Bill Lawrence L280 Neck. I use this with 500k pots for volume and tone and a DPDT on-on-on for series-split-parallel for the SD, then a separate switch to turn on the neck PU to get any combo. This is the most versatile HSS setup I've ever come across, its perfect from country spank and soulful blues to raunchy funk to crunchy rock and raging molten infernos of metal.

Bobby Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 EMG 81 in the bridge, EMG 85 in the neck, 2 volume pots, no tone, 3 way toggle. Ditto, but soon looking to try that calibrated BareKnuckle Nail bomb set...keep hearing such wonderful things, any body running dual warpigs?...lol, way to name a pickup.

GuitarMan686 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 BILL LAWRENCE XL 500 + C 500. I like to go very extremes of tone. On one side very treble, piercing and then straight to bright clean and smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonsg26 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 H-H two dimarzio evos i love em best pickups ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 i'm a HH kinda guy. I mostly use Bare Knuckle Pickups. My main guitar is actually HSS and has a BKP crawler (british blues rock) in the bridge and slow hand (have a guess!!) single coils. just recieved two more sets. The first is a mule bridge humbucker(classic Paf - slightly hotter) and manhattan humbucker sized p-90(slighty underwound compared to P-90). I was aiming for something pretty classic with this set the second set is a pair of miracle man humbuckers. these are passive pickups based on the tone Zakk Wylde gets from EMG's. I have had them in nickel covers which have been distressed and then aged - not to look authentically old or owt, just because it seemed cool havnt tried warpigs yet but they are on the wish list!!
