Pickup Height
hi i have a b.c rich bronze warlock and i was wondering what a good height for the pickups is and if the height really matters because i don't really notice a difference when its high or low maybe im just deaf or something but yea whats the point of changing the height. i use distortion and play Metallica if that matters

a good height for the pickups would be off the guitar completely
rip out all the wiring too

high is a little muddy, low is a volume loss.
u can tilt the bass side up for more emphasis there treble side up for more treble. ull notice the most difference with good pickups and amp.

adjust it on cleans btw, its much easier
you could pluck a note then adjust it to hear the difference

Dude don't listen to that jackass talking shit about the BC I play a Warlock and the damn thing screams when I want it too and sounds great. He's just made he can't play his for shit. Just adjust pickup just high enough that it stops the tone abruptly after plucking the sting then begin to adjust down from there alternating from on side to the other till you reach a good tone and the note sustains it'self. You'll want the volume on all the string to be even across and one side may need to be a little higher then the other. I'm not claiming to be an expert but this is the way I found works best when you want to optimize the tone and sustain if your guitar feeds back too much you may need to adjust further.

Bronze Warlocks are bad. I owned one for a couple years. I don't dislike B.C. Rich as a brand, but the bronze series is less than desirable.

I've never been a fan of BC Rich guitars and I pretty much hate Metallica...but those are my opinions, and everyone is entitled to those.
Your pickup height is going to be the same way, so to speak. There is no correct, fix all solution to it, what pickups you have, strings, playing style...etc. are all going to be a factor. The best thing I can tell you to do is to look up several different manufacturer specs from several different brands to get a general idea of where they recommend setting their pickups. Then grab your ruler and try a few. When you find one you like, remember it, and when you find one you don't like, do the same. With a little tweaking from there (use your ears) you should be able to get it dialed in pretty nicely. Remember, experimentation is an excellent way to figure out what you like. Mistakes are good tools to learn from. Play around with it some. Hope this helps.
