Clear modern metal bridge pickups?

[Elmasodoacro]

Hi!

Some time ago I asked about the Pegasus/Nazgul differences to put in my guitars (6 and 7 strings) and thanks to your help I decided to the former. It went pretty good all this time, but some moments...I wish it has more a bit more output and chunkiness, without getting rid of the beautiful clarity both on clean and high-gain situations.

So I came across with the Bare Knuckle Aftermaths, and I was wondering what are the differences between the three: this one, Pegasus and Nazgul, in clean/crunch, and high-gain situations. The variables I prefer are clarity, chunkiness and output, in all the situations I mentioned.

Sadly, there are not retailers or sellers here in my country nor the youtube videos are at least helpful.

What do you think about both?
Thanks!

IMO, the Nazgul eats the Aftermath alive in that clip. Much more agressive and tighter, which works particularly well for the low tuning.

I'm sure that if the tone was dialed in for the Aftermath, though, the Nazgul would sound tinny.
