I change pickups all the time. It’s my job but also my passion.

Dimarzio ‘57’s in there now, much more better.

I will save the Mean ol’ 90’s for something else. I’m pretty sure they would be cool in the right guitar.

I once tried a Bare Knuckle Nailbomb bridge pickup, way too muddy/ unfocused for a particular guitar.
Then I dropped in a Carvin M22SD pickup, that pickup was the ticket.

As far as GFS goes, I tried the Overwound Hex pickup set from the Clearence section and it was a better pickup than the Dimarzio Evolution set that I got for my 1984 RR/ Jackson.... that happens !!!!

I guess I've just never been able to wrap my ahead around what the appeal of "budget" brands are for something like a pickup when an SD or Dimarzio don't cost that much more. Seems like a weird place to skimp

I actually like a lot of their pickups. The 85/15 is awesome, DGT pickups are great. American Silver Sky are some of the best singles I’ve played.

The 85/15s are some of my favorite pickups of all time ever. Supreme clean tones and just the perfect bite and aggression for brootz

And contrary to the stereotype that PRS pickups are dark... the 85/15 set is very bright imo

Newer PRS USA pickups are just about ok but in general I don't like them. I put Throbak 101s in my PRS.

They look great against that finish, too!

An Eleven Rack >>>> two VHT Valvulator 1's >>>> VHT Pitbull / Carvin V3 ( in stereo) >>>> four early 1980's Laney 4x12 cabs with two Fane / Greenbacks speakers in each cabinet.

Those are pretty great. Every time I install a set for someone they make the guitar sound better. Very nice pickups, very expensive here in the US.

very expensive

Is that in pesos?

It’s not the Nailbombs.
The signal path is weird. Eleven rack in to vilvulator in to front end of two tube amps???? Or just the fx return? It would have sounded vastly better to just use the Pitbull on its own.

 

[LeftyLoungeLizard]

We should all be using Mighty Mite Motherbucker pickups and just calling it a day. The perfect pickup.

FTFY

Google thinks the name of this pickup is either..

Spandex Hairspray Boomer Metal (bridge position)

or

The FuckBucker™
