okay, i need a pickup for the bridge position. guitar is made of korina.

play (power/death) metal, emphasis on leadwork. use an engl powerball if thats any help.

like clarity and highs and really hate muddyness or an overload of lows in a pickup.

i seem to like the miracle man so far but its hard to compare all these mp3s since everyones running a different rig

favorite bands: persuader, judas priest, pantera, van halen, firewind, dream evil, the crown, at the gates, megadeth, running wild

what do you guys recommend for me based on what ive told you?

Miracle Man or Cold Sweat will have the tightest low end. The Nailbomb is a possibility as well.

I don't think you'd be disappointed with either the Nailbomb or Miracle Man.  But having both I have to say the Miracle Man is my favourite, and really covers all your bases (great for lead, clarity, lack of mud, etc.)

Can't coment on any others as I've not tried them (yet ;)).

I'm not that expirienced in this pickup recommending, but from what i've learnt so far, you want a Miracle Man.
