Newb, NGD, and in need of a pickup

[Lightningflash]

Well, this is not my first EBMM Axis but the first one I really liked but didn't care as much for the color so I sold it.
I just got my second Axis and I'm so stoked...but one of the p.o.'s had swapped-out the bridge pickup for a SD Dimebag Darrell pickup. It's not a bad pickup but I'd like to put it back to stock if I could.

So if anyone has a Axis bridge pickup laying around that they are willing to sell, please let me know.

Well, here she is:

Sometimes those dumebucker pickups are just soaring in a guitar, sometimes they're ice picks to the ear drums. That depends on your style, fingers, guitar, and amp settings. I had one in my Carvin DC and it was pretty killer for some piercing leads.

I don't see the classified section of this forum, where do I find it?
I am in need of a bridge pickup though.
Glad you like my Axis!

Welcome to the forum. Congrats - a rosewood fretboard on an Axis always looks so nice.

Good luck finding another pickup.

Get a tonezone, done! Honestly its the closest thing, much more than the AT 1, and its a dimarzio, so it will look the same.

Excellent advice.

I have a tonezone in a guitar and its character is SO CLOSE to the axis bridge its crazy, just a little darker, but hardly noticeable.

I third the ToneZpne. I put them in everything except Les Paul's...

Ok, I'm looking at the tonezone but can't seem to depict whether the pickup for sale is for the bridge or neck. It almost looks like they only make the tonezone for the bridge only, is this correct?

 

[Firesource]

There is no specific neck or bridge version of the Tonezone.

Ok, good to know. I got one on order, I figure $79 isn't too bad since I only paid $550 for the Axis delivered.

W-O-W...that is a steal.

This may be a dumb question but why not a Les Paul?

So I bought a new Tone Zone in cream and when I got it, it was very peachy in color, not even close to matching the color of my original neck pickup, so I returned it.

I found a used tonezone that looked closer to the original color but it ended up being whiter, so I think I might try to age it to see if I can get it "creamier".

Since the original Axis pickups are so hard to come-by, I was wondering how a Wolfgang bridge pickup would sound in comparison?

Nice guitar!
Maybe wiping a little coffee on the pickup will darken it up to match the neck pickup.

My buddy says he's had success with putting them in a cardboard box and burning incense....plus they smell good afterwards!

I tried it twice. Once in a Studio Lite and again in a studio faded. Both times I preferred the original pickups.
