Been putting a lot of these things into practice already.

Wow, my left hand muting is far more shit than realised

I'm still considering actives in my Epiphone, because even with a DiMarzio Evo and SD Alnico 2 it still sounds dull and muffled compared to my Charvel. Figured actives (possibly with 18v) to try to overcome this, but not sure it would work.

What pots etc are in the epi? I found replacing the stock pots etc in my tokai, it took it to another level.

Hmm, probably the stock pots, might be worth a look.

On the Helix go for the Rev Generator Purple or Red models, you won't regret it!

Agree with the 11-56 d'addarios for drop c on Gibson scale. I like that the g (well f) isn't thick as fuck like in most of the 11-54 sets around.
So many good passives around for lower tunings, I've got a bkp warpig in my Gibson sg, lace dissonant aggressors in yamaha sg, someother bkps and rail hammers in my lesser used drop c guitars.

I still think the Duncan Distortion is a mighty pissed off sounding pickup. Doesn't have the clarity of the BKPs I've played, but then again I can't play for shit either!

I put one in my Ibanez about a thousand years ago, it's a remarkable pickup considering the age of the design.
