just wonderin, what pups you all are using in your fat or double fat strats that work great for metal.

The JB usually calls the bridge slot home in most metal strat axes. The Custom Custom also does a good job, With Full Distortion uses it. The Custom has a tighter low end than the CC and JB and lends itself to heavier styles.

A distortion/custom hybrid does a good job too.

For the neck most guys go for a Jazz, or 59. The jazz handles detuning best, the 59 has more bass.

Hope that helps!

I currently have Invader / 59n and am Definetly swapping my Invader for a TB-4 (JB)
I love the sound of the JB, so I know I'm gonna be happy with the new setup.

CC bridge / PG neck without a doubt, has served me well (and I've used the Invader, Custom, and 59 as well).

check out my soundclips of the CC here.

I have a Dimarzio Tone Zone in my maple fretboard/poplar body strat. It really tamed the brightness of the guitar, and it really sounds great for metal and hard rock.

YEAH, what Kindred Spirits said is true

heres what you do: DONT USE A STRAT!

problem solved! nah just kidding, i only say that because i hate fender and usually when someone uses the word STRAT they are talking about fender strats (i know your talking about the kind with humbuckers and not single coils) although i know alot of people that call anything with the same shape body as a strat, well they call it a strat too

but anyways you wanna know a great pickup for metal then check what i just posted on withfulldistortion's post:
