:D Hi guybergman welcome to the forum !! Ratrod & Bird are right you sound like you want a high gain P/U with lots of power. You`ve got 1 of 3 choices. either Miracle Man, Nailbomb, Warpig. By the sound of the songs & bands you`ve mentioned i would go for a Miracle Man. Lots of power but with a tight bottom end. The guy who runs BK [Tim] plays in a Ozzy tribute band & he swears by the MM good enough ? :D  8)

Hi, and a belated welcome to the boards.........there's been a serious amount of orders coming through so I haven't been able to get on as much as I'd like.

The Miracle Man will definately give you that Pantera tone with bags of grind and tight rhythm tone too.

Looks like your Hamer is a 50mm. I'm pretty shure. You can check by measuring the distance between the outer polepieces. 52mm is usually Fender and guitars with Floyd's.

The 2 con is the easy way. I think your stock pickups are 2 con as well. Take the 4 con if you want to add a coil tap or phase switch n' stuff.

One problem I had with a Hamer Sunburst - the Miracle Man with covers didn't fit the pickup cavity  :wallbash:

Mine is a very old one (79), with Dimarzio's and strat style bridge, and because of this I didn't want to open the cavity at all.  If you are not set on covers, I would get an uncovered set so you don't have a problem.

I love the sound of the calibrated set, and you can turn down and they clean up great.  If ever you do want an old classic rock tone, the neck pickup with the alnico V will give you it.

The Miracle Man is a tighter sound than the Warpig.  Think early Sabbath for the Warpig sound.  The harmonics shine on the Miracle Man too.  I am not a metal player at all, but when I plugged in the Miracle Man I had to play some Iron Maiden and Judas Priest!

btw.  I think the pickups will go straight in if they don't have covers. I think it is really just a soldering iron job.

Im listening to Pantera at the moment, I think the Miracle man would be your best bet. The only reason total guitar gave the MM 4 was because it didn’t have such a good clean tone.
The Warpig is an awesome metal pickup, but for the Zakk/Dimebag tone defiantly go for the Miracle man.

Just two joints. A wiring diagram is supplied with the pickups. The hardes part is getting some of braid off.
