I once put a Nail Bomb set in a chambered Tele and the neck pickup worked really well with the guitar. The NB neck doesn't  get many mentions but to my mind it suits your description perfectly.

I have a crawler mathced with my Ab Bridge and i must say it sould just like what you describe.
Its really mellow but with a harmonic rich cut to its.
not as hot as a HD or as cutting and bright as a Vhii or as (dare i say) sterile (compressed??) as a CS

I have used it for Sweet child o mine sounds to, what is to me, very pleasing results.

Many thanks guys, so be it... Crawler and MQ!

One last question about Crawler bridge? Does it have good note separation? Do open chords with distortion sound solid, thick as a one 'wall' of sound? Or become blurry and messy like it happens with my Cbomb?

I find my Crawler quite detailed with (a lot of) gain. It doesn't become messy. Of course the combination guitar, amp, effects has an influence, as has the amount of gain.
