Hey, guys.
I'm looking for a bridge pickup that's more warm/darker sounding with some treble shaved off a little bit so it's not as bright. It's for a 1997 PRS CE-24 (bolt-on maple neck/rosewood board, mahogany body/maple top, five-way rotary selector). Right now, it's got a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates set which I like, but I always seem to prefer warmer pickups in the bridge and brighter in the neck.
I'm a real big fan of the DiMarzio Breed, even like Norton and Tone Zone, but I want something different.
From my looking at the BKP site, it seems perhaps a Silo, Warpig A5 or Juggernaut might fit the bill. Would anyone recommend one of these or perhaps something else? Thanks.

looking for darkness? A-pig among all three

The alnico Warpig would be the darkest.
The Crawler is another dark one.

Cool. Thank you!

a-pig should sound good, but the Silo seems like a natural match too
-
Crawler would have been my vote, too.

Since the Crawler has been mentioned, I'd say that in my Strat it isn't a bright pickup. It does have enough in the highs to be heard in the mix. Strong mids and lows. With a decent 68 plexi clone and a decent Celestion loaded 1x12 or 4x12, the lows are a tad looser than some ceramic mag pickups that I've used with that rig. Not mushy, though.
I have not used the pickups that you mention.
