I need a pickup suggestion

I need a bridge pickup to go into a S470, Mahogony/Maple Top and Rosewood fretboard through a Genz Benz El diablo. I want a sound that is really in your face, that is really crunchy and crisp but not too high output because i heard that a too high output of a pup through a high gain amp equals mud. I play mainly stuff like Dokken, TNT, Skid ROw Ozzy, Megadeth etc... I had a Screamin Demon in it, which i really liked, but i guess im looking for more Ummph! with it perhaps a bit of BUZZ SAW also.

I think you'd be very happy with a Duncan Custom.

I would just go to the Tone Wizard and select Metal. But that's just me. I prefer the Jazz/JB, and it can do the metal if needed (ala Megadeth).
