Versatile pup for fat strat

[tjtheguitarist]

So i'm picking up a Yamaha Pacifica off my mate for £30, H-S-S. It will be doubling up as both a second guitar with a slimmer neck than my SG and i will also be taking it in for my music GCSE next year (because the only guitars they have are squier affinity strats).
I want a bridge pup that can do metal, with a nice thick crunch, but is also versatile. Also, i need good cleans, but i'm thinking i'll need to replace one of the other pups for that because a metal pup probably won't do good cleans.
So far i've been thinking SD JB or Distortion, but i am open to other brands. The body is Alder if that helps.
cheers!

Welcome to the forum.

I've used both a JB and Distortion. Both great pups, but I still have the Distortion. Great cleans, great "split" sound. I use my electronics for crunch and dirt, etc.

(I should qualify this by pointing out that I don't play "live".)
