PDX Demmelition

[Kimling86]

Hi guys
I planning on buying a Jackson PDX Demmelition in the near future (alder body, bolt-on maple neck) and I want to replace the pick-ups as soon as possible. What are some good pickups for this type of wood combination?
I have a Painkiller in my Tokai LS150 and a C-Pig in my Schecter 007 Elite and I love those two pickups... Would any of those be good for an alder body?
I mostly play melodic death metal; At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity and something in the vein of Gojira

Thanks!

Well, a quick check through with the search function confirms what I thought I remembered: A lot of love on here for both the Nailmbomb (alnico OR ceramic magnet) and the Holy Diver in alder guitars. I know you're playing heavy stuff, but either of these pickups can get dirtier than you could ever require with a half-decent amp. A C-pig would also do the job, though!

Yeah, well I've got a 5150 as my main amp, so I'm covered when it comes to distortion  :lol:

Probably a Nailbomb. I'd say alnico, but ceramic would do nicely as well.

Or.... another C-Pig.  :lol:

Jeg vil nok anbefale en Miracle man til dig :P Jeg har den i min mockingbird og sweet jesus det er den fedeste til standard tuninger(som i min verden er under B)
