I'm in the market for some new pickups. In everyone's rightful opinion, what's a great bridge humbucker for modern metal that isn't stupid money. (No more than a hundred bucks.)

hmm.. for that price, you ain't getting nothing good in my point of view. add an extra 15$ and get an EMG 81 or Seymour Duncan Blackouts.

For that price, almost nothing. I would recommend a pair of EMGs, 81/85 or 81/60, but that will go over your range unless you look used. SO look used! Reverb has some deals on pickups if you can find them, so check it out.

get a seymour duncan SH-6b. I had the set in a gibson les paul a while back and they was really good for the heavier genres of rock and worked well for thrash but I mainly play punk rock and they was really well suited for that
