If you have not tried a BKP ceramic yet, you would probably make a grave mistake by counting them out. I too was not a ceramic fan. It worked in my Dimarzio Crunchlab, but sides that they sucked the big time. Thing is that Tim basecally makes ceramic PUs without the downside of ceramics. Certainly changed my view on them.Tell us a bit more about what you did not like about ceramics!
if you think that either a miracle man or a cpig sounds thin, then you must be a bass player :S

Seems like out of all the pickups I have tried I didn't like any of the ceramic ones that includes, the distortion, dimebucker, emg, blackouts the stock pickups in like 4 guitars and i'm wondering why almost no production guitars made for brutal/modern metal ever have alnico? With the EMG 81 its tight yet thin so when I palm mute it doesn't really have any chunk or low end and I want a pickup that does that with good clarity and will work in a PRS type guitar. I have made three threads only because I need to choose what pickups to buy within 2 weeks.
I don't know why there are two pages full of discussion here. Get either Alnico Nailbomb or Warpig and be done with it!EDIT Reading the blahblah from the previous pages, probably a Nailbomb is your cup of tea!
Okay after trouble trying to order the pickups it seems like the best way to go is the calibrated set, how good are the cleans on the nailbomb and how well does it do for neck leads?
