Pickups for a P/P bass playing black metal.

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi!

Which pickups would you use on a P/P bass which is used only to play black/death metal?

I've tried Basslines but they sound a little thin to me...

I was thinking on DiMarzio DP146 Will Power, I had once a Fender MIA with that pickup and sounder powerfull, but I don't know if Nordstrand, Fralin, etc. are better choices...
I play fingerstyle and I like not cutting mids.

Thank you.

You could always buy a valnott; they really nail that black metal tone. Here's a promo vid-

Wow! I think I've found the Holy Grial to my black metal sound!

Just some good natured ribbing. You have to admit, the bass tone part is hilarious. In answer to your question, how about some EMG's? Punchy with lots of growl.

Be prepared for either innuendo based or pianissimo jokes about your P/P bass.
