Ok...just got this one put in. I have been a EMG metal head for the last 10 years.
For me....if it wasnt active....it was WEAK!
Well........time to correct my thinking.
A buddy brang over his Suhr guitar couple weeks back to check out my Diezel VH4S.
I was running my Jackson thru it. Sounded great.
Then he plugged in.........
He had a Suhr guitar with Aldrich pickups.
It wasnt as metal sounding as my jackson but it had such a great VOICE and GROWL.
With my set up...not changing any settings....it sounded like George Lynch with a hint of Slayer and Metallica.
Heavy yet with BITE!
I didnt think it would be that big a difference.
So I started checking out pickups that very day!
Found out that the MotorCity Afwayu(Same as Jerry Cantrell uses) Is similar to the Aldrich but Meaner with more lower end.
PERFECT!!
Bought one off a member here. Just got it installed yesterday and fired it up today.
I had to re-tweak the amp slightly. But it was KILLING!
Fucking KILLER.........
Had the GROWL that I remember from the Aldrich but more low end.
Super dynamic. Love em!!
It rips and has VOICE now.
I was popping off Harmonics with EASE!
I ran it thru some paces and was surprised how much speed I can put behind these riffs and they dont flub.
Probably dont get all the Metal tones that the EMG's did....
But it gets me more than enough Metal.
The "TONE" is there!!
I am no longer a EMG Snob....
What a great killer sound. Still in awe how much of a difference it made.
THANK YOU MOTORCITY PICKUPS!!
From a fellow Michiganier to another!!
If you been wanting to try one but been on "the fence".....
get off your ass and order one......NOW!
