Need a PU with some more bottom end in my LP

[SwedeNuck]

Hey guys, in my Heritage H-150, (basically an LP standard) I'm looking for a bridge pickup with some more bottom end depth to it. I currently have a C5 in it but it's too grainy and trebly for my tastes in comparison to my invader in my H-207. It'd be easy enough to put another invader in my LP (and even though it's bright for mahogany) but I'm concerned about the mud factor.

I welcome any suggestions you guys can make.

There's not much more low end than in a C5.

But there are pickups that will sound more blanced and thus sound like they have better low end.

I really like the APH bridge humbucker, it's warm and full, and I like the bottom end. I think if you want more bottom end and less treble, an A2 is the way to go. Yes, I know A5 buckers are known to have a tighter bottom end, but you get the top end also. A CC might also be a good choice.

To throw a twist at you, put a 59' neck pickup in the bridge. That's what I currently have in the bridge of my Lester, and I love it.

I think it might be appropriate here to say that I play metal and the tone I'm going for is in the vein of Chimaira. They currently use EMG's, 81s in the bridge slot but I'm not sure if I really want to go back to EMG's after how dissatisfied I was with them the last time I owned a pair.

Pickup changes are generally not that demanding if you do your own soldering. Have you tried switching the Invader you have into the axe in question?

I hate to sound like a d1ck. I do not know what an H-207 is without a web search...but a tone is worth 10,000 words. If you can, try the Invader in your H-150 and go from there.

I would love to try an Invader in my Epi LP.

although I am handy with a soldering iron the invader in the H-207 is a 7 string pickup, so I'm a little **** outta luck there.
