has-sounds pickups look tempting for the price. the only that is stopping me from trying them is the lack of reviews and description, unlike sds and bareknucks where i can get detailed comparisons and suggestions based on my guitar etc etc hehhh
Come try my Viper pups. I have 2 now, neck and bridge.
Its pups that I feel suit my style best. Ceremics, biting, screaming harmonics and pure attitude. BUT. Great note clarity/seperation and dynamics. Something you don't get like in say... Evos or JB. And I mean seriously good dynamics. Bluepowder and SanXp have tried my guitar with the Viper and both where blown away by the way the Viper reacts to your playing/picking.
I will also be getting a custom Redline neck humbucker, Alnico 10k. And right now, I have a prototype DropZone7 for my RG7621, which will have it in by tomorrow methinks.
Phil has the Hellion. He wrote a review of it on HAS Sound website. Oh, and he has tried my Viper too.
I just got a set of HAS Karma single coils, Malcom will be testing them out. The Karmas are the vintage, bell like tones of old school real single coils.
Its really top notch stuff if you ask me.

a set of nailbombs would go well in an sg. 16k and alnico 5 magnet. would complement the bright and thinnish nature of sgs
but $$$$$$$$

at what cost dude.. :lol:
16k and alnico? Reminds me of a Tonezone. Could get a touch muddy or too dark, even on a bright guitar.
At the end of the day, you gotta take into consideration the guitar, and put more emphasis on it. Reason being, there's only so much a pup can do. It might be un-natural sounding, to put in a bright pup into a dark guitar, but it might just be what the guitar needs. So.. you really have to make sure you balance it up. Too extreme on the pup character, it starts sounds weird.
Anyway, for todays' context, with so many hi gain amps, and pedals around, I don't think there is a need to go for high output pups. Reason being, high output, usually lacks in the cleans dept. Also you really take away the dynamics/responsiveness and add compression from the root of your tone, your guitar. When you do so, then you can't ADD dynamics you know? Its gone already.
I think a wise and practical way is medium/low output pups which have good dynamics/little compression, then use pedals to boost like crazy.
Of course, all the above in the view of a player who wants versatility and dynamices.

nope but i read into them quite abit and heard some clips and shit. im not worthy to talk about them. sorry boss..
No no... Matt, if you wish to go BK, by all means do so. However, you gotta be sure what you want then compare it to what really matters. E.g. I want a pup that has great low end, whcih might make it muddy up. So why not use bigger speakers/cabs to give more oomph instead of compromising on clarity.
Be assured, ciel21 isn't "looking down" on you.
