Any of the above, and MM as well. What sort of tone do you want?

wouldn't warpig sound too dark in mahogany?

I wish women were like pickups - if they lack output, you sell them... or ask Tim to rewind them :D

Of the 3 you listed I'd choose Painkiller, but my #1 preference would be an Alnico Warpig - I have that pickup in my Gothic V tuned to drop-Bb & it has all the power & intensity I need for that tuning.  FWIW I even recorded a brief clip with it...

I don't have a ceramic NB or a ceramic 'pig, but "i play death metal only" makes me think that the Ceramic 'Pig is the way to go...

Search for posts by Drac in the Players forum to see what I mean ;)

(as an aside, wasn't it Drac that first ordered a CWP?)

Or you might wanna an alnico 8 version, like I have. Like a cross between alnico and ceramic.

Painkiller.

If you want to retain clarity while downtuning loads, I'd stay away from ridiculous output pickups like the c-pig.

Not so good buddy.

They all take it very well indeed.
