Mal's tone is just about my favorite ever, but I have to think there's some kind of language barrier at work, here.

Is that you in the video?

Did you use any of those pickups you linked to?

Sorry misread the question (it's been a long day).

The First two on that list will do it. Malcolm uses Filtertrons with very little overdrive and 100 watt Marshall amps. Also string gauge is important (Gibson 12-56's if possible, yes in standard) as well as Malcolm's choice of heavy Fender picks (which, according to Scott Ian, he can shred them up in one song). But the Filtertrons in a semi-hollow body will get you pretty darn close.

Someone once told me that Malcolm uses JTM 45 heads.

I've read that several times, as well.
