So i figured try something at the other end of the spectrum and went for an invader. It sounded decent on the low end but i think the mid range bump that pickup has was boosted again by the guitars natural sound.
I really like JBs but have them in multiple other guitars so didnt want to just go with them in everything.
Finally thanks to Matt's insatiable lust for pickup swaps I have just put his Charvell's distortion in and could not be happer with it. The guitar now sounds as good as it plays/looks. Mayones really need to ditch the Nazgul at least on their 6 strings but there is a theory that they bulk bought/ordered them when they were flavour of the month and are just slapping them in everything....
