I am looking for something along the lines of Sleep, high on fire, down, crowbar, COC, etc.
Semi hollow hofner, it will be going into a dual rec, splawn or Rockerverb pending what I am playing.
.
$200ish.i don't want major feedback issues, it does have a solid center block.
 
Duncan Custom....Not too hot, slightly scooped EQ, not too modern sounding but has enough punch and cut for the bands you described. Sounded wicked in a 335 I tried.
 
I will look into it. I don't know if I have ever tried a SD Custom, but I don't like a lot of their bridge pickups a ton. but I will look into it. thanks!

I am intreagued by a railhammer P90 in the neck. maybe an anvil in the bridge?

I think that i want a p90 in the neck. that is what Pepper Keenen used with down live on a lot of songs.
 
I had a Dimarzio ToneZone in my semi hollow and it worked really well for stoner metal into a rockerverb. just my two cents.

Cool! I actually have one around I was thinking about putting in something, as I am swapping pickups out of an ibanez prestige for evos or something similar.

I also have a Rockerverb. That goes great with the semi as is.

Cheers!

Does anyone know of a p90 for metal in the neck?

I am in no rush, as I am not gigging at the moment. Just want the semi to blow some smoke.
