Hello,
Which Bare Knuckle humbucker would be a good starting point for this type of tone....

I'd say VHII

Welcome to the forum!
Cold Sweat and a Metaltronix or Splawn stack.
Max Norman's production really emphasized the attack and brillance of Takasaki's tone moreso than the earlier Japanese albums.

Not a bad choice, but not ideal for Takasaki type playing ... The VHII has the tightness in the bass but lacks the push of a ceramic magnet that you really need to get close to that tone.

I would say VHII if the acoustic sound of the guitar is rather thick, otherwise a Holy Diver?

Holy Diver would be my choice, but i can also see a Cold Sweat, Rebel Yell and a VHII doing that kinda sound fine as well.

cold sweat
maybe the old ceramic diver
but sounds a lot like some cold sweat clips i heard on the forum

I'm thinking more lower output ceramic magnet pickups for this.... so Cold Sweat, but the Holy Diver would be my second choice anyway. Painkillers would be a little different, but would probably work nicely.
Rebel Yells are a little brighter, and a little too midrangey for that tone.
