What pickup is similar to the second degree black belt that does not have a huge wait time?

For you guys that like a PAF style pickup, but need a little more... what about the Jackson preamp?

I just put together a HSS partscaster with a Bareknuckle Black Dog and it is right there in that range at 9k4/A5. They also make a VHII that is one click down at 8k9/A5 that according to their tone chart has a lot of harmonics. But in this Ash bodied Strat this Black Dog sounds really good.

But then you could buy several Duncans for the price of one BK so there's that.

I like the second degree black belt, but I dont like playing email tag and waiting for months to get a pickup.

anyone know of something very similar without a big wait time?

or else something like the Duncan Steckel, but slightly hotter?
Thanks

Wolfetone Marshallhead is extremely close to the 2nd degree black belt

I have a Black Dog too. To me, it's pretty far off from a BB2. A lot thicker with an emphasis on fat low mids.

Good to know, kind of explains the match with Ash. The VHII must be the more comparable one.

The Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbucker would fit the bill . It's a beefed up PAF type pickup
