good bridge humbucker for baritone?

what would be a really good bridge humbucker for a baritone guitar? here are the specs:

6-string
27" scale length
Neck-thru construction (maple neck/alder wings)
Ebony fingerboard
T-O-M bridge w/ strings thru the body
Single bridge humbucker
Single Vol pot

I plan to keep it tuned to BEADF#B at all times. this axe is gonna be my ultimate death metal machine :6: ...and mainly just for rhythm chunk 'n grind (no soloing or clean tones) for layering on home recordings.

I'm looking for clarity and tightness, and a really chunky and aggressive vibe.

I'm open to all brands and models, passive or active.

I was thinking of an EMG 81 wired in 18v series, perhaps?

thanks!

Well, an EMG 81 is most likly your best bet for actives. For passives I'd say Full Shred or Custom. Both have tight bottoms and enough compression to keep things clear tuned low and pleny of chunk to spare.

thanks man. the description of the Full Shred sounds right-on what I'm looking for. I'll prolly just have to order a few different pups and try each one out. have to sneak the debit card away from the wife :smokin:
