I've only had one, a ceramic Warpig bridge.

But plan for a Nailbomb ceramic bridge once I get a guitar and if the pickups are lame.

I don't own it currently, but i used to have a calib. set of Ceramic Holy Divers in my Ibanez RG and thats the guitar i've had the most fun and best sound with in my years playing guitar. I took them out because i was going to sell the guitar but i decided to keep it and it now has a H-S-H set of DiMarzio Evolutions in it which i am happy with.
If i had the money though i wouldn't hesitate to get them again. :D

My favourite is whichever one will get the job done best at the moment.
At this moment, it's the Riff Raff, but that changes daily depending on what I'm working on.

i'm currently using a miracle man, but the holy diver was the best in my les paul (i tried about 7-8 bridge humbuckers only in this guitar and a lot other models in other guitars)

The Mule - again it varies - but whatever the style, its never the wrong choice. Frankly I expected more Mule love in this thread.

I'm not a massive Mule fan to be honest.  I've got a pair for sale on eBay at the moment as they didn't sell on this forum (which I thought they would).  I still have a bridge Mule in my Tokai LP though.

Hmm

Thats a tough one; i couldnt possibly give one answer cause my fav pickup in a LP wouldnt be the same as my fav pick in a super strat.

I'd go with mules for the LP

and VH2/Holy Divers (alnico) for the super strats

HOLY DIVER :)

It sounds fantastic in a variety of guitars & covers almost every tonal need I have from a bridge pickup.

That surprises me Dave, I thought you were well into the Mule.

I think my favourite, of the ones I've got, is the Riff Raff.  I reckon the Black Dog has potential too, but not sure I've got it in the right guitar at the moment.
