yes the a8 might be nice, but really isnt that nice unless u plan to use alot of noise removal hrdware and signal compression
it is a really WAVY waveform pup, out of the boundries
they introduce alot of noise and alot of charachteristics that include, basssy mid punch that goes beyond the mid range, and the trebble is over the top
honestly for the best of the best, for organic tone, where u can alter small parameters on ur effects and amp to get a in ur face sound i would have gone with
for a neck
dimarzio breed, evo, invader
or duncan jb, jazz or d distortion
for the bridge
dimarzio x2n, breed, invader, evo, or in those lines
duncan, id recomend a
duncan distortion only for a bridge pup in thier line
in all honesty these are already highly compressed singals right out of he pup itself
the ones u mentioned and the ones u put in ur guitar, really are over the top non0clarity(mostly a signature sounding) pickups
you can get away with my dynamics and clarity at any volume even with the highest gain passive pickup made a x2n
for ur rg id recoment just getting a evo in the bridge and a jb in the neck, and youll get any tone you ever wanted from those two pickups!
