What are the best active pickups?

Question

I got a BC Rich Virgin NJ series with a maple top and mahogany body and maple neck and I play lead in my band and I play Metallica,Ozzy,Disturbed songs and I was wondering what would be the best active pickup to play Metallica-like stuff and would have the best harmonics and good tone?

Answer 1

Well I would have to say EMG pick-ups Metallica uses the EMG 81-85 set up and I think Zakk Wylde uses that same set up. But EMG has different pick-us I use the EMG 89 set in my BC Rich Warlock and it sounds great. The 89 works great for leads and the 85 is great for rhythm. I hope this helps.
