Humbucker Help

[sully676]

was looking to change the bridge pickup in my guitar (ESP/LTD Mh-50) basswood body, rosewood fretboard, maple neck, floyd rose. I tune to C G C F A D and play a mix of Ozzy, All That Remains, Killswitch Engage, basically the heavy/melodic style and wanted something that would give me a tight sound with the low tuning and give me better pinch harmonics (such as zakk wylde). would prefer to stay with passive pickups and was looking at the TB4, TB5, and TB6, which of those would be best or if there is a better option what would it be?

thanks in advance

Well the JB ain't tight but the Custom and Distortion would be good choices. They sound similar to me, the Custom is a bit PAF, and the Distortion is a bit dryer.

I'm sure people with more drop tuning experience will chime in with other good ideas too.

For tunings that low and tight, out of the ones listed, I like the Custom. The Pegasus would be an excellent choice, too.
