Looking to replace a Suhr Aldrich.....

[blackba]

Check out Tom Anderson pickups.

That's what I was if thinking too. Something like the h3 or h2plus.

I had an afwayu and I didn't find that it had more bass than the Aldrich. It was also not as clear, more growling by comparison. I must admit I was not a fan of the afwayu, just wasn't what I wanted in my old lp studio.

The H2+ is also a great pickup!! Played though an Anderson loaded with one of these and it did kick ass!!!!

BKP War pig
Dimarzio Tone zone

Black Dog is a strongly flavored PAF variant; not a lot of low end.
JB does not have prodigious low end , IMHO.
I think it's a great pickup for it's flavor or genre.

I also find the Aldrich thin and lacking bottom end. The Afwayu is a great alternative in a bright guitar but I would say save the $$ and go with the Duncan Distortion.

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Duncan distortion has less bass on the EQ meter than it's friend over at dimarzio.. why not go with the original and get a super distortion?? I like it in the brighter strat I have. With an endorsement like Ace Frehley, how can you go wrong!!!!??

The dimarzio super distortion is a great pickup. It was my favorite in my old lp studio, which tended to lack bass in the bridge position. It does have a pretty instantly recognizable sound.

+1 on the afwayu. I put one in my axis and it was too hot. I sent it back to Wade and he tamed it down a bit and it was incredible. I say 'was' because like an idiot I sold it I've tried other pups in that guitar and nothing has lasted. I have a Norton in it now and though its nice it still leaves me wanting more

Btw, you have the stock pup still? Is it the same as the regular Axis pups?

 

[MR MARCUS]

Manlius Asphalt. Huge tight low end. Great clarity. Love this pickup. Killertone(Jason F) turned me on to this one. I ordered mine custom with a ceramic magnet.

 

[Dimebag11]

How about a ceramic black hawk?
Also , I don't have the stock bridge pickup as it went microphonic

 

[Metlupass2]

The H2+ is also a great pickup!! Played though an Anderson loaded with one of these and it did kick ass!!!!

I just bought one to replace the H2 in my TA Pro Am. My other two TA Drop Tops have HN3+ and I love that pickup. Thats the most high output pickup he makes.

Never tried them but I've read here and there that Bare Knuckle Pups are very good:

Yea, I'm really digging the tone if the ceramic black hawk in the site. My tele has a bkp in it.

EBMM will give you a free pickup if you send the old one back

 

[Dimebag11]

Oh really? I remember really liking the original pickup.

 

[parntz145]

I had MCP (hotheads) in my Luxxtone and just didnt dig them after time. I went with the Aldrich set and man they are great. It has to be your guitar that just doesnt agree with them. You should look into the Suhr SSH+. Great pickup and doesnt have the mid bump the Aldrich has. I put one in my Charvel and it killes.

Yes, that trade worked out quite well for both of us

 

[Dimebag11]

The guitar is chambered basswood w mahogany tone block. Definitely mid heavy.

Amazing as I hear the opposite: I just swapped an Aldrich for a JB in a PRS West St. :all mahogany set neck with a vintage style tremelo. The Aldrich bridge has quite a lot of bass without sounding muddy. It's delivers more upper end than the JB too. Both are great pups. Can't go wrong with either.
