Yet another "help me choose a pickup" thread!!!

BKP Cold Sweat seems to be what one would think you'd get if you wanted John Sykes tone.

Thanks, I'll check 'em out.

I'm now open to offers on the Gibson set.

Going by this tone on the Super Distortion clip at the Dimarzio site, the DP100 is still the frontrunner. It's screaming, sustaining, nasty, but not too much sizzle/nasty harsh.
I like it best of the Dimarzio pups I've heard so far. 2 zebra Dimarzios....mmmmm.

I ripped the clip:

I'm still looking at other brands too and the Gibson set is now for sale/swap/wanted on the auction site (along with half my other stuff).

I might sell my BKP VHII. Want to give the Caparison PH-R a crack in my guitar...if it doesnt sell that is.

Any hot bumbucker set considered
My preferences are discussed here: http://www.nzguitars.com/forum/viewtopi ... =8&t=14571
The Gibson pups (black, no coveres) are still in my 2001 Honeyburst Gibson Les Paul Classic and are in good condition

Something you're not telling us fella?

[Aquila Rossa]

Haha.

Freudian typo you reckon...not....fixed.

With all the admiration of the Doug Aldrich Les Paul tone, I think John Sykes has some awesome Les Paul tone as well. I doubt these pups are stock, I wonder what they are?

I believe they're Gibson Dirty Fingers.

For what you described, I'd go with the Aldrichs, but I'd get the Neck/Bridge set.

[Aquila Rossa]

Hell, I don't want dirty fingers pups, too crazy.
The Suhr Aldrich or the Super Distortion seem to be it atm. Still got to have a closer look at BKB, Duncan etc first.
I don't think the Suhr Aldrich is available in NZ? I bet they are pricey.

Speaking of Doug, I'd like to learn this as an exercise, anyone got the Tab?

EDIT, I see Trueman get the Suhr pups in. Now I just have to sell the Gibson set and my other spare stuff.
