need help choosing pickups

I thought the painkiller was the brightest, then the miracle man... Well, my mistake. I think the only way for me to provide an accurate evaluation of the ceramic line is to TRY THEM ALL! If only my wallet allowed...

I almost did that:lol:
didn't try the c-pig and c-bomb, though

I think how some frequencies respond to picking can be confused with brightness sometimes
the painkiller has a "brighter low end", but overall balanced, while the miracle man has more high end but it's darker on the low end and mids, and the cold sweat has "brighter mids" and less bass, so it usually sounds brighter than the others
they're not a world apart from each other, though

(sorry for the brief hijack)
Do you think an overwound MM (to tame the high end) would work in the bridge with a bridge HD placed in the neck?

probably
the neck version of the miracle man placed in the bridge position already sounds a bit like an overwound version of the diver
it's fatter, a bit more compressed and darker, but similar to the diver
so I guess the bridge diver in the neck might work even better than the MM neck
