Hey guys,

Curious your thoughts. I'm replacing the ceramic SC250 in my Singlecut. It's a great pickup, very clear, big and tight.
I prefer chunkier, darker, fat pickups with some chew. My Les Paul Standard has a Rio BBQ which I love. My McCarty is getting my Suhr Aldrich, my PRS CE22 has the Dragons (although I've thought about replacing with alnico pickups) and I'm looking to maybe go the Rio BBQ route in my SC250 or Wolfetone Timbrewolf. I even thought about the Wolfetone Fenris which is alnico II. I don't like super tight, articulate pickups. I like em a little softer, chewier and fat. We play a lot of 90s and 2000s rock, grunge, alt rock and hard rock, with some metal thrown in, play originals. We've been sprinkling in some 70s and 80s as well from Rush, The Cars, Deep Purple, Maiden, etc. We are all over the place. But I like fat, chewy tones.
My main amp right now is a Bogner 20th Anniversary Shiva with various boost and ODs out front.
I'm torn between the Timbre Wolf, Fenris and BBQ in my SC250.
Thanks guys!
 
Maybe BKP warpig? These are very chunky and thick with rolled off highs
 
I’ve got 2 PRS pre lawsuit single cuts which are very similar to your SC250s. I’m running BKP Rebel Yells in both and they sound killer. Big fat tone that’s kinda chewy but still tight enough for metal.
 
The only difference between the Ferris and Timbrewolf is the magnet. They’ll send you both if you ask. I have the Timbrewolf and love it
Yes, I talked to Wolfe and he is going to send me the extra magnet. I bought a Timbrewolf years ago but didn't ask for the alnic II. I should have. I'm ordering and gonna do that. Thanks guys.
 
BKP pickups come up a lot, but I've never tried any. Which one are Alnio II? I don't see magnet listed on the site. I really like AII pickups.

And the Magnet makes a huge difference. Wolfe and I were talking about how the Fenris compressed more and is smoother, less immediate.
