Ceramic or Alnico?

I would want to get a set of Bareknuckles at one point or other, assuming it's a H-H style, perhaps you can point me in the right direction...

Non-active sound. I like active bridges sometimes, but I don't like necks for leads. I find that passive necks are amazing for solos and everything inbetween. I'm thinking Nailbomb bridge & Cold Sweat neck, and people say you can get them in Alnico or Ceramic or whatever, I'm wondering which Pickup(s) and which magnet thing to get in it.

I was told to put a Tone Zone in m'bridge and I will, thanks zimbloth. This is for a future gitbox!

the two bareknuckles I have are both alcino5, and they rip Basically, best thing to do is ask tim, as he will point you in the right direction, possibly even a different model, when you tell him what sound you are going for.

Yeah just keep in mind I was recommending the Tone Zone 6, not the 7-string version which is ceramic.

Seeing as I barely play the 7...it'll be most likely going into either a custom Mahogany / Alder 6-er. I never played Alder, I want to, but I can't spit cash into a Custom Shop I might end up hating.
