Hi to everyone!
I am looking to change the pick-ups on my guitar by BKP ones! I had already a look at the catalogue, and a friend who is already using BK pick-ups already provided to me some hints but advised me to post here to have experts views :)
I have a french manufactured guitar: LAG Arkane 3000.
The specs:
http://www.zikinf.com/materiel/lag-arkane-3000,12386
Body: mahogany, maple table
Neck: Canadian maple, screwed
Fingerboard: Ebony
Frets: 24 jumbo frets
Pickups: 2 DiMarzio humbuckers (Air Norton and Tone Zone)
Controls: 1 volume + 1 tone with push-pull (Split), selector 3 positions
Bridge: floyd rose tremolo
Tuners: Schaller Precision
I am tuned in Drop C, playing in a hard/Metal band. To give more detail on the music played please listen to "Alter Ego" on:

My current pick-ups lead to some unprecise bass, and so I m looking for DropC proof humbuckers, with sharpened response, mostly on bass and high, guitar being plugged on a high gain Amp
In the list of pickups for metalI have:
- Black Hawk: Maybe the output is not strong enough?
- Aftermath
- Painkiller: Maybe to much "killer" mids? :)
- Holydiver
- Miracle Man
- Warpig: But maybe too extreme
So if you have some hints on which of these I should choose, you help would be highly appreciated!
Aditionnal bonus questions:
- In the order form, I should mention the "leg", small or long. How could I see which of the 2 I should choose?
- If I take a set, where could I mention that I want Ceramic for bridge and Alnico V for neck? Or is it automatic depending on the pick-ups chosen?
Thanks in advance!
