Thanks for the reply! I still want some sort of versatility in the pickups (to play cleans and some tasty blues), so that probably leaves the ones you mentioned out of the list, so basically something like this:
-evo2(bridge)/evolution (neck);
-tone Zone/air norton;
-The Breed/The Breed.

What do you think of the paf master (vintage output) and paf pro (medium power) for the neck? they cant take high gain for solos?

Hi there guys! I am thinking in getting a ESP LTD EC-1000 deluxe and change the pickups to DiMarzio but I don't really know what to choose since i don't really have much experience with pickups...
For the neck i want something warm/fat but that still handles a good amount of gain for solos without getting too muddy. For the bridge something that allows note clarity for high gain metal/hard rock stuff, pinch harmonics, etc. (maybe something like the iluminator/Titan but I'm not sure since i never played them).

I have looked at some and at the moment I am more inclined to this ones (feel free to add other pickups if you think they are better):
Neck:
-Evolution;
-Paf pro;
-Paf master;
-Liquifire;
-Air Norton;
-The Breed.

Bridge:
-Iluminator;
-Titan;
-Evolution;
-Crunch lab

What do you guys think? Btw keep in mind that i don't live in the US so it isn't that easy for me to just go to a store and try pickups.
