The Cold Sweat neck has great cleans.
totally agree with that, my CS neck in my LP style guitar sounds fantastic either clean or distorted. But cleans are superb indeed.

Not sure the Miracle Man is what you're looking for. My understanding is the MM has highs that scream, and is a heavy but polished sounding pickup.

Going down the list...


huge, and have lots of intestinal fortitude
hot and high output humbucker
thick, raw, punchy, chunky, beefy, warm
bottom end to be wide and fat, but clear, and the high end to soar and not scream
far away from a "thin" sound
Thickness, punch, heat, warmth, "balls," and clarity

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Warpig. Hot, big lows, thick, raw, chunky, beefy. All BKPs have clarity so that's not an issue. Not sure about the string-to-string separation compared to note separation thing, it depends on what you're expecting I guess.

Anyway, I just thought the Warpig seemed a more natural pick based on a list like that.
