I don't think you'll go too far wrong with 'bombs. The neck is beautiful played clean, the bridge breaks up fast, but does a wide range from overdriven to metal. I've not tried it much myself but others have commented that it does well in drop tunings as well if that helps your cause.

The ceramic Warpig is surprisingly versatile, but personally I think it does best with a good amount of gain, if you want some serious bottom end chug without it feeling lifeless the WP will work for you.

The Nailbomb has a ceramic option for the bridge if you want it.

I hope the recording session goes well, and I hope you can post up some clips when you get the 'bombs loaded :)

Well, I just ordered the Nailbomb with camo cover.  Didn't have any drop down for a ceramic option?  I may have to write them and let them know I want that instead.  I'll let ya know how I like it and post clips when we get some stuff up.

By the way, there is an older version without my solo on our myspace of "This Ain't No Costume, It's A Way of Life"

Yeah send Tim an email and ask for the Ceramic magnet, it's not a 'standard' option on the website order form.

Nailbombs are incredibly versatile.

When on 10 they are creamy smooth and do the high gain thing perfectly - however, when I turn mine down to 7 or so, they'll do a cracking crunchy/punky tone, without a volume drop.

Brilliant, brilliant pickups.

The nailbombs should improve that tone considerably! Not too much like my cup of tea, though. Do post back when you have some clips and pics with your new pickups!!!
