Hello people
I'm currently looking into Bk pickups for my sevenstring. You can see her here:

(the specs in the first post don't count, changed a lot as we went allong)
Basicly it are poplar wings with a laminated neck of maple and mahogany. Ebony fretboard and pernambucco for topping.
I'm currently using dimarzios. A D-sonic and an air norton. Air norton is somewhat ok. But the D-sonic sounds kind of thin.
My guess is that it has to do with the Poplar wings and stainless steel frets, they probably brighten things up a lot. (Damnit Jim, I'm a player not a builder)
I'm not sure what to do here, I was thinking of using the warpigs to add some bass and body...but maybe that's overdoing it. I don't want to sacrifice the high registers since I do use those quite a bit in both clean and distortion territories.
I play all kinds of stuff, going from metal to country clean, most important to me are leads and cleans, I do wander into extreme metal genres every now and then but it's not my main thing at this time.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I'd suggest a Holydiver bridge. If you mostly play leads and cleans, the Warpig may not hit the spot for you, since it's pretty dense and driven sounding for clean work.
