LTD VB-400 pickup suggestions

[MRC]

Hey!

I'm about to change the bridge PU in my LTD baritone (this model: https://reverb.com/item/67847095-esp-ltd-vb-400) to some passive beast.
The style I'm playing is hardcore/sludge with a hint of death metal.
I was thinking Black Winter or Nazgul but both have that picky treble that I don't really like. I'm looking for a sound similiar to this:

The gear I'm using: Mesa Dual Recto head/cab, Maxon OD808X

Any ideas?

Thanks,
MRC

Invader is darker than the BW OR Nazgul and may fit well

According to the tests I found the Invader too muddy.

I'm not sure I have an answer for your question, but that's a cool looking guitar.

The Black Winter doesn't have much treble, but if you don't like that, maybe it is worthy of a SLUG?

 

[MRC]

Not treble maybe, sorry. I meant upper mids I guess. That twangy sound:

Has anyone tried the Pegasus? Would it be good for a baritone (27')?

The Pegasus is fantastic for baritones and extended scales. It is a scooped pickup with tons of tight lows. It is much more modern sounding than something like a JB or Custom, and doesn't have the upper mids like a Nazgul. It also sounds great at all gain levels, which isn't the case for many modern metal pickups.

Thank you.

I would also suggest the Pegasus.

JB could work as well.
