Seriously if I were you I would probably go for the Black Hawk set with the alnico bridge option.  It should be able to djent very well and give you all the other stuff you want, and you seem to want the BH neck anyway

I don't immediately see the reasoning for the BH neck but if that's what you want, I'd get the alnico BH bridge pup to match it. If you went with the A-Bomb in the bridge, which would also do what you're after and probably be more versatile, I'd go with the Cold Sweat neck. Either way, if you want decent cleans you need an alnico magnet.

Okay, Aftermath and Black Hawk it is, almost certain. The Nailbomb just doesn't add enough difference to my current pup to make it worthwhile, unfortunately, and the Cold Sweat just isn't what I'm going for. I actually really like the clean tones of both pups. If anyone has DRASTIC points to make about my decision, it'd be helpful, cause I'll be ordering them tomorrow.

Yeah why the black hawk neck?!

I think you're describing the juggernaut set. Modern, tight, cutting, awesome cleans, awesome leads. The jugg is almost as tight as the aftermath but way more versatile.  It's cleans will be vastly superior.

The black hawk neck is more of a rolled off jazz sound than 'shimmery' to my ears.

Seems an odd choice to me for what he's after that's for sure but it's his money and we can only advise  :smiley:
