New Bridge Pickup for a Schecter E/A hollow body

Anybody got any suggestions for a new bridge pup for this schecter? It has a Carvin Holdsworth in the neck position right now. It's a pretty good pup, smooth and clean(sh-2ish). I'm thinking maybe JB for the bridge, but I wanted to know if anyone else has any suggestions. I would like a nice versatile bridge that can get some good overdriven rock tones, but also be able to mix with the killer graphtech ghost piezo system that this guitar sports. I play through a Line 6 Vetta, so amp versatility is not an issue.

I tried the C5 and PG+ in my Epi Alleykat. They both sound good clean or dirty, with the C5 having more low end muscle and a warmer top. I ended up keeping the PG+ in it though, because it blends very well with the neck SM-1 and with the Fishman Powerbridge/Powerchip system I installed in the Epi.

My buddy has a set of Phat Cats in his and it is a wicked guitar and versitile to boot.

Thats an interesting suggestion, I had not considered that. I don't have much experience with P 90's. Tell me a little more about how they sound.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've read through some old posts and the C5 sounds really appealing in this guitar. I haven't made a final decision yet, but the C5 sounds like it was made for a warm hollowbody that needs some versatility. The phat cat sounds like a cool idea. I'll probably try one of those in the neck position in the future. I have some other projects I'm working on as well, so I'll probably keep the Holdsworth in the neck right now for strictly monetary reasons. Any other supporters/dissenters of the C5 please chime in.
