lalalalaallaalla what amp are you using to justify yourr pickups arent good?

 

[alshit]

does it seems like...there's a new pickups thread every 3 days or so?

Agreed. And it might be me, but it's usually focused on seymour duncan models.

I replaced seymour duncan blackout ahb1 at the bridge .

The main difference i see with changing ahb1 is that you get much higher output and gain . But then it becomes abit hard to control haha when like u pick wrongly the mistake is quite audible , unlike the stock pickups . I dunno whether that is the case for the invaders .

I am not an audiophile who can tell whats good but i think the ahb1, from what i hear is more like a metal kinda pickup where it is super hot and if you like screaming harmonics this one is probably your pick.

But its also super sensitive when you lift your palm off the string you hear the buzz sound almost instantly.

Hope that helped . seymour duncan rocks.

Davis sells each AHB1(bridge or neck) about 140 if im not wrong

I got mine while travelling in medan but only bought bridge then. Came back to singapore trying to find neck AHB1

I searched alot places but only davis guitar at peninsula shopping centre got AHB1

Do think about what amp or pedals you are using 1st before thinking of changing pickups.

I believe you should follow this comment first before changing your pickups.

 

[EugeneSmasher]

Try your E.Q. settings and pedals first. Pickups do play a role but a very minor one.

^ Agreed. Keep that in mind.
