Hey all:)
I'm planning to upgrade the Humbucker in my HSS delux e american strat but i'm not too sure about what i should put in it..:p
I play alot of different genres, ranging from clean blues to heavy metal, that's also the reason i bought a HSS strat xD
I've been thinking to put a warpig with an alnico V magnet in my fender's bridge and I just wondered what you guys think about it.. Is it a good combination? Especially for a power metal sound in the style of kamelot? (A few clips of them:

I was thinking about the warpig with an alnico magnet since i am in the impression i need a warm sounding pickup to offset the fender's brightness if I plan to play my type of metal on it..:p
The amp i'm currently using is a cr@ppy roland cube 60, but I'm planning to upgrade it to either an ENGL blackmore or an ENGL Savage as soon as possible, i just decided to upgrade the pickup first since it'll be cheaper and it'll give me the guitar of my dreams xD
So... Does anyone have any sugestions for a pickup that'll nail the sound (or something similar) of the bands i mentioned in a stratocaster?:D I really like the sound of the warpig but I haven't heared it in a Fender Strat in a power metal enviroment so i prefer to play it safe and ask around as much as I can..
Thanks in advance!
Any opinions are greatly appreciated!
