Pickup searching again.

Ok, got a USA spalt maple topped dean ml Exotic coming in, and guess what...MAY be changing pickups, depends.

I should say that the closest pickup Ive found in bridge position tonally is the dimarzio tone zone (FAT mids and BIG bass response, rounded/lowered highs...the pickups main focus in more in its lower mids), but I own a miracle man in the neck of another ml, and its..well, amazing.

I'm torn between a tonezone (would prefer not to own another) or a bareknuckle that is tonally geared somewhat similar (good bass, GREAT almost honky full mids, lowered and rounded highs).  Ive also considered suhr humbuckers (mainly aldrich).   HELP guys, Im a lead guitar player, all instrumental music...Need something (bridge) than is MAZING for leads (thats where I spend 95% of my playing), full mids and sustain, decent power.

Hi there man!. If you like the MM then Warpig came to mind.....! Cheers!!!

if your miracle man is really the neck version, just try it in the bridge
the neck mm has a very similar voicing (and specs) to the tone zone
it works pretty well in the bridge for some guitars
it's like a holy diver, but darker, a bit fatter and more compressed

Lots of mids? Tight Bass response? Lots of power?

Painkiller jumps to mind.

no ceramic pickup will have the response he's looking for
