I'm running a version 2 Framus Cobra Head, a custom built 150lb all birch front loaded Bag End cab, The speakers go all the way down to 50hz! the cab has 4 ports at the back. I usually run an Ibanez SZ320 mahogany set neck with a duncan sh-8. Or a pro540p with a screamin demon in the bridge.
The guitar I'm building is a Sapele body w/ a Bastogne walnut top. I'm using an original wizard bolt on neck untill I can build one for it. I only use bridge pickups and occasionally split them. I play heavy stuff but also love the brown sound. The cold sweat pickup is what I'm leaning towards. What do you guys on here think?

I think you need warpigs in there. AlNiCo or Ceramic, I think you'd be happy.

dude...live these pickups sound killer through my halfstack. Probably one of the best metal pickups out there for the cost.
