Suhr Aldrich HB vs Motor City Detroiter vs High Order

[AmpliFIRE]

What do you guys go with for a Bridge PUP in a H/S/S strat? The fretboard is Brazilian Rosewood and it'll have a vintage trem. I like a medium output pickups that are clear and balanced tone wise

The Aldrich is SUPER high output so I'm not sure why you'd even select it if you like medium output. That said, it is the clearest sounding high output hum I've played. You can hear every note ring in a chord with full-on high gain. Not muddy at all. I like them alot, however, I have to say for higher output pickups I really prefer the Duncam Custom 5 - phenomenal sounding...

High Order does the low output A2 thing REALLY well - never tried his medium output stuff..

I just got the Motor City Blisster Bucker A2 that sounded really good in Stan's VH clip. It is medium/high output, but has PAF qualities in the sound... Haven't put it in a guitar yet though...

Thanks Steve! Stan's VH clip was way too bright for my tastes.... Is the Aldrich bright? I don't like a guitar that kills you with treble, as a lot of Strats do...

Have you considered the Anderson H2 or H2+? I should be putting an Anderson H3 in my strat next week....

Funny you say that, but i was just on the phone asking daneyo if he still had my old H2+. Anderson pickups are great, but i think I want to try something different this time around...

The aldrich is a clear pickup, but not bright AT ALL. Very balanced. I have it in everything from a super strat to a Les Paul and it isn't annoyingly bright in any of them.

Cool. I hope I like the H3 and it isn't TOO hot for me....

Same here, I have been a big fan of the High Order 8.7k A5 and A2. I went against my own will and ordered the Blisster A2 as well, arrived a couple days ago, will be a couple weeks before I can give it a shot.

I'm gonna wire mine up tonight. I'll be interested to hear what you think of it as well...

never played the suhr,but read great things about them..you cant go wrong with highorder,he makes great pickups!!!only downside is its like 5 week wait for your pickup..motor city pickups is more expensive,but if you dont like his pickup,you have 14 days to send it back and he will wind you something different!!!!

How does that PU behave with the volumepot? It's my experience that the higher the impedance the better the tone stays with lower volumesettings (doesn't dull out as much as lower impedance PU's)

I was thinking of pulling the JB out of my Charvel and throwing that in. Since i really haven't liked the tone of many Suhr guitars I've played i guess I'm not a fan of their pickups. Although, I've never played the Aldrich. I don't know if it's the Anderson pickups, or just his guitars, but they always sound a lot more ballsy than Suhr guitars to me.

Is anyone man enough to try the new VEH from Guitar Fetish? For $40 give or take how can you go wrong?

Hey, Danyeo ! My wife almost damaged my high-res. screen trying to kill the bug in your avatar! Wish I had that on film.

 

[AmpliFIRE]

Paige... when you get the Jose... invite me up and I will bring my Charvel with the Aldrich (with the Cameron Aldrich as well)

You got it brother. I should have it next week (it's in the shop getting the bass boost knob repaired and new tubes/bias)
