Recommend a bridge HB?

[tremulant]

I sent this to sales@, but I figured it would be good to ask here as well.

I am looking for a recommendation for a BKP bridge humbucker. I am building up a Warmoth guitar with a swamp ash body and an all maple neck. The neck pickup is a Lollar P90 (9.1k bridge).

My only real source of comparison is the HFS pickup  in my alder bodied PRS CE-24 with a rosewood neck. It is supposed to be 17k and ceramic. Overall, I like this pickup, but it has a certain cold thinness to it that I am thinking could be attributed to the ceramic magnet.
I generally play in drop C and need bass response that doesn’t get mushy. I need the top end to not be too icepicky and want a very full midrange.

As for style, I play a mix of surf, death metal and doom through a groove rock sensibility. I’ll be using the bridge HB primarily for harder tones, but I need it to clean up a bit when I turn down the volume knob.

I play through an AxeFx and primarily use the Diezel Herbert and SLO models.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

The Black Dog, although in the vintagehot-league, does a good job at low tunings and will give the midrange you're looking for. It can do metal. If you want something hotter, look at the Nailbomb or the Miracle Man (though ceramic).

With that ash/maple wood combination for a guitar.. I'd suggest a Holydiver. A stock Nailbomb would be my very close second pick.

The Miracle Man is similar(ish) to the HFS in that it's ceramic and about 17k but I think you'd find it both warmer and smoother and certainly not 'thin'. Alternatively, I'd also suggest looking at the Nailbomb.

"As for style, I play a mix of surf, death metal and doom through a groove rock sensibility."

this is the best sentence i've seen on this forum so far
