Last week, taking a look at ebay, I found a fucking good deal that I bought totally impulsive (an air norton and a tonezone for 98$ both, in new condition) But now, while waiting for them to come, I'm wondering if the Tonezone will work for me, because I play mainly metalcore and stuff like that but also do some soloing, and being a dark sounding pup, I'm afraid that speedy low B riffs turn into a muddy pile of junk

My actual pickups sound great, so I wanted a similar sound, but with better quality (stock brand pickups are never what a Dimarzio, Duncan or EMG are). And the ones that better matched them (talking about EQ) were the Blaze Custom and the Tonezone, but I don't know if the TZ can handle speedy riffs trough lots of gain

maybe would be better for me a Blaze Bridge instead?

I have no experience with this pickup, so I would be glad if someone sheds light into this. By the way, the guitar has alder RG style body, bolt-on maple neck and locking trem.

Thanks!
