I've decided to swap out the bridge pup in my Axis. Here's what I'm looking for:

- Tight bottom end
- Smooth, cutting Mids
- present, but tame highs

I want to make sure I get it right the first time since I'm going to have to mod the pickup to fit in the guitar

Custom as the first choice because of the tight bottom end.
Custom Custom as the second choice because of the other two.

JB wouldn't fit this bill.

I can tell you from experience with the CC (I have 2), it may not have the bottom end as a Custom, but it can still chug with the best of them. I actually like the bottom end of it. It's not too boomy, not too flat, but just right. I run the bass on my amp at around 8 or 10 depending on the guitar anyway.

Erik nailed it.

The CC is a very cool pickup. It sounds great clean and under gain it screams. It is hot enough to tighten up a modern high gain amps front end without sounding overly compressed with the gain cranked. The bottom end is slightly spongy without sounding weak or loose. The mids are strong and I find that the mid hump on the CC is higher than that of the C-5 which has a solid low mid hump, but lower than the JBs mids which are somewhat up there. The top end is very present but it is more of a singing than screaming tone that you usually find in alnico v or ceramic magnet pickups.

The CC covers beautiful through brutal very easily.

I love my CC! I don't think it has very tight bass. I think the custom has more, but I haven't played one. CC is great though!

What do you guys think the CC can't do? That might be easier!

How do you think an Invader or Custom 5 would work in this guitar?
