I have been thinking about maybe putting some new pickups in my Epiphone Thunderbird. My band plays alot of hard rock and metal so i was looking for something a bit more agressive. The pickups im looking at are possibly Passive EMGs. Has anyone put these in one, or know better pickups?

Putting passive EMGs in a Epiphone Thunderbird IV?

di marzio and seymour duncan are better for passives. but i dont know if they have a replace for thunderbird. bartolini also is good and have it. you got to check the sites. if dont, EMGs are much better than the stock epiphones
I think that would be a sweet idea. HZ's are great for metal. I think HZ 35's would be the more straight forward route, but two EMG HZ 35 p's (p standing for a presicion pick up in the soap bar housing) would sound great for metal. It would be a really aggressive and a thick tone.
