Hey guys!
It feels like forever since I made my last post on here, but I'm back because I need your advice & opinions! I'm trying to decide on which pickup set I should install in my guitar once I'm ready to do covers on Youtube ASF. The guitar the pickups will be going into is a Schecter C-1 40th Anniversary. Here is the link in case anyone wants to view the specs it has: http://www.schecterguitars.com/vault/listing/c-1-40th-anniversary-natural-pearl-detail
The other bits of equipment I'll be using for my future setup will include: a Boss GT-1 effects pedalboard & a Peavey Bandit 112 amp. As far as my sound & tones go, I'll mostly be aiming at doing modern rock & modern metal types of playing, but there will be some alternate playing styles involved too. (Pop-rock, alternative, industrial rock/industrial metal, etc.) The pickup sets I'm currently torn between are: the Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient set (6-string version) & the Bare Knuckle alnico Nailbomb set. So, between these 2 amazing sets, which would you recommend for me? Another question I have is, "Does the Nailbomb sound too loose or flimsy when you're using low tunings? (In my case, it will range from standard to Drop A.)
I sure hope someone can help me out with this tricky decision! If you have any questions for me or simply need more details, feel free to drop me a line! ;)
Hope to hear back from you with helpful suggestions & recommendations! Regards, Kyle.

I would be more inclined toward a Miracle Man rather than a Nailbomb with those bright woods and all that maple.
From standard to drop A? That's not very far on a seven string but on a six string you basically have standard tuning minus the highest string on strings 1-5.

From my personal experience I would not recommend even Ceramic Nailbomb for low tunings

Well, given my tastes in music & the opinions so far, I think I will rephrase my original question. Would anyone be able to recommend a BK pickup set that is very similar to the Nailbomb in terms of tones, & that can handle drop tunings a little better? In case you may need to ask me anything more about this, feel free to do so & I will answer back as best as I can! :D
