I need a pickup that kicks ass damnit!

[Lord Toneking]

I got this Wolfgang and Im not liking the bridge pup at all I had a wolfgang years ago and remembered that it was big and beefy sounding...really thick...almost too thick. Now this new one has had the bridge pup replaced with a wolfgang pup bought from Peavey but it sounds like garbage to me. I own an Axis and it's been my main guitar for at least 7 years. I love the way the Axis sounds, it matches up really nice with my Quickrod. My QR is very picky about guitars, pups, and speakers. I want a similar sound out of the wolfgang as my Axis

here is what I was thinking...

Tone Zone
EVH wolfgang (new wolfies)
Duncan EVH
Afwayu
Aldrich
Rio Grande BBQ

my .02 cents worth. I own a Wolfgang w/ original pickups, I own a Suhr Modern w/ Aldrich pickups, I own a Wayne Rock Legend w/ a BKP Holydiver bridge, I own a Charvel w/ JB bridge.

I like all of them but the pickup that really kicks all kind of ass is the Wolfgang, maybe it's wired wrong?

I know what youre saying. I had one before and it had major balls. I checked the wiring and it all looks good...I just dont know

 

[Superunknown]

Gibson Dirty Fingers.....

Aldrich, or if you like Dimarzio the QR loves the Super 3

How does the guitar sound unplugged?

Sounds good, no fret buzz if thats where youre going

If you're looking into getting something along the lines of the Axis tone, I'd probably recommend these:

BKP Holy Diver or Nailbomb
Motor City Afwayu
Suhr Aldrich
DiMarzio Tone Zone
WCR Godwood
