Need a bridge pickup for King V Pro Mustaine

[GWARGHOUL]

and you should too.

No, he uses the Duncan Dave Mustaine live wires now.

Which is basically an active version of the JB and Jazz. Personally, I can't stand the JB and think it's overrated. The Jazz may just be the best passive neck pickup ever, though, next to DiMarzio's Super 2.

Joe, the Mustaine Livewires did start out as an active version of a JB and a Jazz, but the final product is a far cry from those pickups. The bridge pickup reminds me more of an EMG 85 only a little more lively with a bit more tonal range. The neck pickup does sound a lot like a cross between the Jazz and say a Pearly Gates or a Custom Custom. I put a set in my DKMG and they sound way cool.

On the flip side of that I love the JB, and think the Jazz is underated but not the best pickup made. That honor goes to the EMG81 . As for Dave Mustaine, I'm pretty sure that even though he has the signature Seymour Duncan Live Wire set, a lot of his gutiars appear to still use the Jazz/JB combo (recent pics kinda lead me to that conclusion).

Well I know he had a DDJ and Lawrence in his black logo guitar in 1988-1991. I'm pretty sure he still has a DDJ in his silver number 1.

Heh. I prefer the 85 in the bridge with either an 81 or 60 in the neck.

Hmmm, I thought they changed it, but I believe Tim (Zerberus) or someone else said they were still supposed to be the active version of the JB/Jazz.

On that note I like the 81 at the birdge, but it also makes a killer neck pickup

The point here fellahs, is that you should buy the new Dave Mustaine pickups.

We bought 45 sets for the series we're building for dave.

The rest will hopefully go into actual consumer purchased guitars.

Buy, believe, Sell, and feel the way Dave Mustaine says so.

I hear for silver number One you need a JB early logo and a J90 pickup instead of the Lawrence 500XL.
