Need two pickups for my new Star

[blackie]

Hello guys,
I am new to the forum and I would like some help regarding the choise of pickups.
The guitar's body is made of alder and the neck of maple...
I want heavy metal sound but with clarity
Bands I like:annihillator,pretty maids,running wild,loudness,megadeth,dream evil,firewind
Since now I was thinking about SH-5 + Little '59
What's my Bare Knucle option?
I am looking for a Hum and a single pickup...

Thanks a lot
Great Forum BTW...

For alder/maple i went with a Nailbomb and trilogy Suite combo in my Vigier, it cuts really well in a band situation for Megadeth/Maiden and power metal.

the Trilogy is quite a fat singlecoil but i'm not sure how it will compare to the little 59, as Tim doesn't do single spaced humbuckers, although you could ask for a Sinner custom wound for the neck pos... but sending Tim an email or phonecall would be the best way to start, really knowledgable and has picked the perfect p/ups for my last two guitars.

Nailbomb is my first choice for Megadeth & stuff

I'd definitely say painkiller for mahogany or korina
but I think it will get too dry on alder, so I'll say nailbomb too
