Another one to think about would be the Riff Raff. This gives the AC/DC tone, but can also push a valve amp nicely. I have a clip of it in the players forum.

Also check out the VHII (early Van Halen 'brown' sound) and the Abraxas - this is a new pickup with the classic early Santana tone - again there are clips of these in the players forum.

Erm, 'fraid not mate, it's one of mine.

That was through a PODxt, but if you put them through a cranked amp, they sound really sweet, with a real cutting mid in there that would mean you never get lost in the mix again!

Well i thought that the tone signature reminded me of Sabbath, the tune itself was original and VERY nice, i ll try to play it today :D

Thanks.

ok, after the quick research i did so far, my gut instinct says black dogs :)

I think Tim's advice would be invaluable on this one.

By the way, can you get the BKP logo on the pickup covers as standard? I saw a few of them like this at a nearby guitar shop and they looked super!

And I'd say go with your gut instinct. I did, and was well pleased I did when I got the Black Dog's in my Love Rock.

If you go with covers (mine are open zebra coils), you do have the option of either logo'd or plain covers. Personally, I'd get them without the covers, but that's just me. I bought a set of Emerald's with covers, which are now in my other Love Rock, and they sound excellent as well.
