Help me pick some pick..ups

Nice !!!

I'm really partial to SD Custom Custom bridge in Lesters...(i usually adjust the poles though mostly bottom end up) and 59 wired out of phase. I used to be a pickup whore, chasing forever, but this combo is for me, my grail. The DD is my second pick for bridge-it rocks. Neck pickups always boomy, but a 59 out of phase is killer - try it sometime. Your welcome. haha

Yeah, I was torn.. Truthfully I wanted a matched set and I wanted it as cheap as possible. The fact that I needed to change pickups in a guitar this expensive made me not want to spend another dime on it! Though I don't really use it for it's intended purpose anyway so I guess that's my fault.. Point being I bought the set used on the fleabay and I'm happy with it. As far as the wiring, these pickups plug in to a circuit board inside the cavity, in order to play with the wiring I would have to get new pots, jack, and switch and I just didn't want to do all that.

Rock on. Those are great pickups and look great in the guitar. Cheers and many beers.

I like that EC-401VF, it's gorgeous! If not for having my eclipse I would be buying one of those for sure!

Alright, so some of you may have seen the thread where I was asking about getting rid of my '15 LP standard. Through your posts I have decided to keep it (I was really on the fence anyway) and so now in order to address the issues I am having which are, not enough output and too boomy sounding on the neck I am going to replace the pups. I am seeking your opinions on what to toss in there.

So, this guitar has the PCB in the cavity and the 5 (or6) plug connectors. The guitar is equipped with the coil split on both pups, phase reverse, and bypass, I would like to keep those intact if possible. I have found a guy on eBay who makes adapters so that I can take pretty much any pickup and plug it right in and keep all my fancy functions. So, what I need are your recommendations for pickups here, I'm looking for more output, more power, more distortion, without being too over the top. I would also like something that will fit under a cover, so no dimebuckers, invaders, etc.. I'm really looking more at Duncan, not so much Dimarzio and I don't have BKP money, so those are out too.

My other guitars are running EMG 81/85's. For this one I would like to have something that's different but will keep up, the BB pro's are just too vintage for me.

So far I have picked out (in no particular order) Gibson 498t/490r, Gibson 500t/496r, Duncan HR hum bucker set (jb/jazz), Duncan distortion mayhem HB set.. I thought about maybe doing the EMG 59/66 but I would loose all my coil splits and everything cause I would have to pull out the PCB. I also don't really want to convert to traditional wiring as again I would loose all my pull knobs and what not..

Any help appreciated as always, and I want to mention. I don't ask all these questions cause I am dumb, I do it because I respect the opinions here and I like hearing them before I drop my cash and end up unhappy which I have done countless times before.

X2N for bridge. I know they have a fearsome rep but i think youd be pleasantly surprised. Air Norton for neck, screwed down level to pick up ring. Good luck.
