BG Pickups advice needed...

[firejack]

I'm looking to grab a pair of BG Pickups for a PRS SE Korina.
I've decided on a Hellabucker for the bridge, but I can't decide on which neck pickup to pair it with.
I'm worried that the BG Bucker Dark or the Lizard won't be hot enough for my tastes.
Bryan told me he could wind me a custom job with hotter output, but still I'm not sure which way to go.

I'm looking for a fluid, liquidy neck pickup that's fat, dark, smooth, powerful, articulate and clear.
I play instrumental rock/metal music and use the neck pickup for anything from melodic vocal phrasing, to singing screaming sustaining solos.

Suggestions?

Talk to Bryan and tell him what you want. He'll custom wind for you it's required.

Yeah I've been emailing him back and forth.
He's suggested these three neck pickup options (BG Bucker Dark, Lizard and his custom-job hotter-wound neck pickup).
I was just hoping to hear from some people with hands on experience with these BG neck pickups - especially the hotter wind neck pickup that he's wound for a few people - to try and help me with my decision.
Cheers.

Oh Damnit !

More F*%$*g boutique pickups to lust over!

those prices are awesome and some unique things amongst the boutiques like the hella rail.

I for one have become hopelessly addicted to Motor City Pickups but there are always new flavors to try!

Hehe.
Yeah I'm really liking all that I've read and heard of the BG Hellabucker, but I'm not entirely sold on any of the BG neck pickups.
I might actually try an MCP for the neck position instead.
I'll start a new thread.

When I had a Hellabucker I used a BG bucker in the neck. Really a good combination. I sold that guitar though, and now I have a BG Bucker Dark set on order. I would let Bryan wind a pickup to match for you, he's sharp.

THe Lizard is the best neck pickup ever created, IMO. Its smooth, articulate, warm, dark and clear. I would say its fairly powerful for a neck pup. I dont think you have to worry about the output on it...it doesnt have as much as the my hellarail, but its no slouch when it comes to output either.

Let us know what you think of the BG Bucker Dark neck model when you get it.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

Heya Raf hows things mate?
Maybe some day I'll end up trying the Lizard or the Bucker Dark neck.
For the PRS SE Korina I have decided to match up a Motor City Hell Baby neck with the BG Hellabucker bridge.
Check out two different pickup makers in one go.
Thanks for all the help guys.
