Favourite bridge BKps?

[Telerocker]

I actually have to revise my top-3. Played Mules in my blues/rock-projectband yesterday. Clean, crunch, heavy drive, all over top gain, Mules do everything. Pretty tight for a vintagepickup, at least for what I play (in this band Bonamassa, Led Zep, SRV, Beth Hart, Sas Jordan etc.)

I've tried three in the bridge - Painkiller, Rebel Yell, Juggernauts. Of the three it's the Juggs, Painkiller had this mid range I didn't like, Rebel Yell was great for rock but I needed some more heavier metally tones and so the Juggs win out. Great pickup that is actually very versatile

Out of that list I've got the Cold Sweat, Nailbomb (A5), and Warpig (A5).

I voted for the Warpig.  I find it more versatile than the Nailbomb and has more bass and balls than the Cold Sweat.  The Nailbomb has a very specific sound about it that rules it out for some things, but then again it gives a hardcore type of sound that the others can't quite manage.  The Cold Sweat can do stuff that the Warpig is just too hot for.  All of them have their strong suit.

Just gotta through the A-Bomb through a different amp.  It's great for driving more vintage pieces because it pushes the preamp harder.  But I will agree that it gets mighty aggressive through a high gain head!

Out of those I had to vote RY. Perfectly placed between modern and vintage it is bringing a classic tone faithfull to the modern age. Vintage heart, modern cut. Love it. The punchy low end, the rockign high mids, and the sheer number of harmonic overtones. Nails some of my favorite 80s tones yet can do pop punk and all out modern metal all the same, while still being able to take on some classic rock sounds. Plus soloing on it and throwing in pinched harmonics, even around the 12th fret, is so fun.

Also need to mention the 10th Anniverary though (related to the Stormy) cause I grew up on sounds like that. So natural, sweet, and rocking, yet so kind. Incredible bridge.

I voted for the Rebel Yell as well.  Slap it in a dark Mahogany guitar and it sounds as wide as a house!!  It also gets really growly and phat sounding with heavier string when it is drop tuned.  I love it through a high gain head such as a Recto, 5150, etc. 

Juggernaut is also amazing for beautiful leads, phat rhythm, and nice cleans.  I prefer it through a brighter amp such as a Mark V.  I would imagine it kicks ass through a Marshall!!
