Thats more helpfull for us trying to help you, thanks.
First off, I never found mesas of any sort that I've tried to be particularly tight. MkIvs are about the best for it, but still its not a defining characteristic of any of their 198450918475081 tones.
Then theres the EQ thing. Bassy, middy amp + Bassy, low middy pickup = bass and mid overload, so its possibly working against you.
What pickup did you change to miracle man from?
Anyway, so far my suggestions are these:
1: Use thicker strings. Always great for tightening things up, and a cheap experiment, and cheap solution if it works.
2: try an EQ in line with the guitar and amp. A bit more expensive, but they tend to be one of those things you eiter rely on all the time, or dont use most of the time and every now and then they're invaluable. Great investment however you cut it.
3: Get to a guitar shop with the pretense of buying an amp or to a mates house that you know has a quite different, but still similar enough amp and try the guitar through that...though I doubt you'll be buying a new amp unless this experiment reveals to you a flaw in your amps tone (its not particularly to my taste because I like the tighter, more open end of the metal spectrum (I use an engl screamer as my main amp, for the time being), but it'll let you figure out what the pickup sounds like outside your setup, if you see what I mean, and at the very least that can help you understand what you want to be different more clearly)
4: try a rebel yell, crawler, cold sweat or nailbomb. All have lower output than a miracle man and very different voicings, but I havent tried any, so I cant advise you any further on that: if you've heard the clips and spent some time on or searched the boards you know as much as me about those.
