I actually like the bridge pickup for clean arpeggios - for some reason, I want to say Porcupine Tree does it a lot...

Admittedly, I'm pretty weird in terms of the tones I go for though.

Nile tunes to A-E-A-D-F#-B.

They don't use lower gain Marshalls either. He uses a JCM2000 DSL100 w/ a boost before it.

I've had Invaders in a few guitars. One was a USA BC Rich 7-string Beast. Back then I used a Dual Rectifier. It sounded nice through that, but that guitar was bright as fuck, so it was a good combination. Then I had one in a USA Jackson KE-1 Marty Friedman (the ones with the hardtail kahlers). It had a JB stock, which sounded good, but I don't go for the JB+Alder/Maple thing. The Invader in the KE1, thru the Dual Rec was amazing. Great tone, even had great bottom end crunch to it.

I've also had them in a USA Washburn Sonic 6 and a Fender, those times through my Peavey Ultra Plus. Believe it or not, it sounded awesome through the Peavey too. A bit over the top, tough to get a tight low end, but a really pleasing seering yet fat/growly tone nonetheless.

The pickup is not for me anymore, because of how crisp and tight my current band has to sound, but I'd certainly get one again just to dick around with or do overdubs.
