hey guys merry christmas.

i was wonderin which bridge pickup would be better for me for old "toys in the attic" aerosmith tones and black crowes "shake your money maker" tones. i was leaning on the side of the c5 but after taking another look at the c5 vs cc clips in the clips and tips section im having doubts that it would be to harsh and stale sounding. and i dont want that to happen. so im considering the c5, cc, 59, alnico pro II, or any other ones u guys can recommend. i still play metal and heavy alternative stuff from time to time so its gotta cover GNR's paradise city and STP's sex type thing. itll go into a bc rich nj warlock that has a floyd rose double-locking trem, chesswood body, maple neck, and a rosewood fretboard. and itll be matched with a 59 in the neck. my most concern is the overall tone of the pup. thanks everyone.

How about the normal old Custom, or the JB? Lots of people on here like to dog the JB, but there's a reason it's the #1 selling aftermarket pickup of any brand.

Those tunes were done with vintage gear. Seths / Antiq / pickups of vintage design are the best starting point. The JB is a great pup but it isn't voiced for those tones.
