I have a Bach Lp Custom incoming.
I want good humbuckers and will wire them for coil-split option.
Recomend me something with enough power for hc/punk and sludgy death metal.
I tune in D and use Musket and Harbinger MkIII fuzzpedals for all dirt.
I kind of like this guy
http://heavyair.co.uk/Somebody might say Bareknuckle pickups but they are way too pricey.

Keep in mind BKP puts vat prices on their website so it's about 20% off, and sometimes going through a dealer gets you a better conversion rate (but not always, get a quote direct and from a dealer)
I've got a ceramic warpig in my bari LP and it is just sludge metal city...it's actually really overbearing when in the lower bari tunings but that's what I wanted.
You aren't tuning that low, but lot of the sludgey metal bands are actually using pretty low output PAF humbuckers for the extra clarity...LP's can sound too "warm" (see: muddy) , so you may want to look into something PAF-y... (black dog or riffraff by BKP)
I'm thinking about picking up a dimarzio 36th anniversary PAF myself, they are getting pretty great reviews and are cheap-ish.

Im in sweden so i have to pay the vat but no custom fees from UK.
Was actually thinking about something PAF-like but a little hotter and found a pair of these used for close to nothing.

Yarr you can do just about anything short of Djent metal with an LP and a good set of PAFs.
Haven't tried the crunchy pats but I dig the GFS Mean 90 in my strat.

those 36th PAf seems nice and i found a good price for them too...
Maybye the low power from those arent such a big deal since i use .011-.056 gauge strings and only tune down one step.

BG pickups are sweet. Brian's a good dude and they sound great, and are pretty reasonably priced
