Bridgepup for my Les Paul w. LiquiFire

[thrashed]

Hi there, I am new here and new to Bareknuckle pickups. I have been looking at a bridge pickup to replace the DiMarzio Norton in my Les Paul. The Norton is one good and shamefully underrated pickup but I would like some more output to match up with the Liquifire, which i now have in the neckpos. and absolutely love! While I'm at it, a more meshuggah, djent kind of sound when muting chords and a tight focused lowend for the pedaling kind of riffing I like with a nice stringseparation even at higher gainlevels, think Jon Schaffer/Iced Earth.
There's so many options, but from what i understand from the descriptions on the site i have come down to either the Painkiller or the Aftermath, The non BKP's i'v been eyeballing include the M6 (hefty pricetag), Crunch Lab or even the EMG 'hetset'.
I'd rather keep the Liquifire since I really like it alot and pair it's 300 millivolt's with something nice from Bareknuckle as I understand they're the "best"?

Another question I have is: My Liquifire (And Norton, ATM) is uncovered black pups and i'd love to have it look more like a stock LP and put nickelcovers on em, but i'm quite unsure about how to do it since i don't wanna wreck the sound and which covers I should choose? :shock:

Aftermath or Riff Raff(!)

Reading your description I was thinking "Aftermath". It would certainly be loud enough to balance with a strong neck pickup.

that's what i was thinking!! does anyone know just how hot it is? Don't want to much of a volumedrop between the bridge and the liquifire.. it says 14.7Ω * Bridge DC in the specs but dont know how it compare to the 410 millivolts the crunch lab has listed as output for example.. That would be a good update for the site imho.
also, any comments on the pickupcover question? only wanna do it for the looks but if it spoils the sound i don't do it..

I don't have a real comparison here, but I've used DiMarzios in the past (Air Norton, Tone Zone, Air Zone, D-Sonic) and have to say most of them I found to be very loud with lots of output and a heavily distorted sound. I would therefore recommend you go with a high output BKP such as the Painkiller, Miracle Man or Aftermatch.
This is because BKP are also "cleaner and clearer" and less distorted in general, if you choose one with a low output it might sound too clean with a high output neck pickup such as the Liquifire.

Good point Alex.

Aftermath will be so cool with Liquifire.

Try the Nailbomb or Rebel Yell bridge. My brothers interested in getting that set to replace his Crunch Lab/Liquifire. The Nailbomb or Rebel Yell Bridge/Cold Sweat Neck is apparantly a very popular alternative, or choice to replace that set.
