As a neck pickup?

as a bridge bro :P never tried the neck version

I think that if Tim has said the Aftermath is your best option in the bridge then that's what you should go for but the Cold Sweat is certainly an excellent neck option and I do speak from personal experience.

I play mainly metal.  My bands songs are pretty all over the place.  These pickups and amp seem to do the trick for me; I feel that I can get quite a versitile tone with these pickups.

Hey mate, I tried your settings at band practise tonight and although I still kept the eq I usually use, I've found that the smooth voicing works a lot better for black metal in a band context! Thanks for your advice, my tone is much clearer now! :D

Good, I'm glad to hear!!  :D

That's cool that you are going to go for the Aftermath, I am currently in the midst of a custom project and I have been eyeing the AM for the bridge!
