I think the nailbombs would be a little too high output. And honestly, I'm leaning more and more towards alnico magnets instead of the ceramics. I'm leaning towards the HD's, but I'm keeping the CS's in mind.

Well, The HD's have slightly more output than the Nailbombs + they're more compressed in the mids/highs. They are dark and smooth pickups; if that's what you're looking for.

If Tim suggested the RY then go with that. You can drive yourself insane trying to second guess which one will be best. Either that or just buy every humbucker BK make :) A few of us are working towards that principle...

Some of us have even reached it and now are working on the single coils!
So many pickups, so little time
