Bridge pickup for RG-570


Hey

I have a RG-570, and I´m planning on changing the Bridge pickup.
I play Metal (low tuned, lots of fast muted riffing)), and I´m looking for a massive sound, but with a tight low end, and well articulated...
These are the alternantives so far:

Seymour Duncan: Invader, Full shred (too bright?), Custom
DiMarzio: Tone Zone, Breed, Jazz

Any suggestions? Can´t decide..

Thanks!

I always find that for a really grinding sound that I like lower output pickup!!!

I don't tune very low, (the lowest I tend to go is drop D down a whole step, to make it drop C if you will) but I've found that the PAF Pro gives me the best tone for this.

I think it's because there's not too much bass coming from the pickup so as to make things mushy in the very low range, there's still lots of grind on the low strings.

If you're looking for a bit more push from the pickup I'd suggest the Bill Lawrence L500 series like Dimebag Darrell used and Nuno Bettencourt uses
