Sound
:
No Opinion
Perceived output level: almost same or slightly less than Super Distortion
Tone: Metaly but Muddy.
Sonic evaluation: I have small practice amp, Marshall MG15 and I run this guitar throught MXR Distortion+. With this pickup, it was impossible to get warm tone. I had to have Treble, on my amp EQ, atleast at 3 o'clock to have the clear sound, and it was early.
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Metal, and not versatile.
Overall Rating
:
4
Comments: It was ok, as an stock pickup of BC Rich. If you like mid-scooped sound, which I don't like, this pickup is gonna do the job fine. But if you don't like Mid-scooped horrible sound, this pickup is not for you.

Comments: It's just a stock pickup. BC Rich tried to make it sound more Metaly but in the end it's still a stock pickup. Basically don't buy these for you guitar. Go on Ebay if your poor and spend the extra 80 bucks and get some decent pickups. If you more poor than that I recommend the krammer quad rods. They're not great but they're pretty great for the price. About 50 bucks for two.
