Plus, I wonder how many people voting have actually used all (or at least most) of the sets of pickups in the poll :Smug:

Actually, I've used every bridge pickup up there except for the Evo1 
The Super Distortion wasn't bad, but it just paled in comparison to EMG's IMO, I felt like I was partially disconnected from my tone/playing when I went back to one guitar with the SD immediately after playing another with EMG's. As for the JB, I really don't like how flubby it's been in every guitar I've played that has one. And after my test above, I think we all know what my feeling on Blackouts is (and yes, the bridge model is incredibly and annoyingly hot, I remember trying to use it in the neck when I put an 81 in the bridge, and even though the Blackout was at like 2/3 the height of the 81 in the bridge, it was just so much louder when toggling, and in clean you could hear that the middle position barely even sounded like it had any bridge twang blended in since it was so much softer)

I've played the 81/85 combo... who in this forum hasn't?
I don't like the JB, personally.
I have a Super Distortion in the bridge of my Ibanez.

oops....I missed that.Well someone asked whether it would be for metal, and he answered yes, and I wouldn't pick any other pickup for any kind of metal IMO, so there you go!

I would say EMG 81/85, however if you were to opt for passives might I suggest a Bill Lawrence L500XL and L500R. I have the Bill and Becky ones as apposed to the Bill Lawrence USA(No experience with these) and am very happy with them. They cost not lots and are actually bloody good. 
Hahahahahahahhahahaha Ryan 
But hey, you get great results with your Blackouts, so fuck it, no reason to switch if you're happy!

Sorry to be off-topic and negative but d00d that's one FUGLY looking axe.
It looks like some kind of garish ornament you'd find in some seaside gift shop in the 70's.

Alas, Tyranny
The 85 and the Jazz are EXTREMELY EXTREMELY different pickups. The 85 is fat, warm, smooth, and high output. The Jazz is tight, bright, spanky, and low output.
I would be surprised if the 81 sounds like the Custom, considering that the Custom is an Alnico magnet and the 81 is ceramic.

I don't know, I'm drunk and quite plainly I couldn't give a shit if what I'm saying makes sense or not.
