If you want emg wont necasarilly give you fatter. The BL will give you more high end. If you want high output try the Invader or Super D, Or ducan ditortion. If you want moderate gain try the custom custom or Full shred, Or even the Pearly Gates plus. Its but lower output but hotter than the orignal pearly Gates which is about PAF output just has boosted mids and warm bottme end. Nothin like a warm bottom end.. Whoops sorry i got side tracked for a sec. Also the Gibson Burst buckers are pretty warm too.or the 500t if ya want extra gain.

The Pearly Gates Plus is brighter, though. I've got one in my Double Fat Strat with a '59 in the neck. Here's info about the PG+ from Duncan's site.

What's the difference between your Pearly Gates pickup and the Pearly Gates Plus on a Lone Star Strat®?
The Pearly Gates is rather different than the "Pearly Gates Plus" that is on the Lone Star StratTM. The Pearly Gates Plus is only available on that guitar and not made for retail sales. The main difference in these pickups is that a Pearly Gates has Alnico II magnets, while the Pearly Gates Plus has Alnico V magnets. Alnico V magnets tend to give a brighter, glassier tone, while Alnico II magnets tend to have a warmer, rounder, more mid-rangier tone. The closest pickup available in our regular line to a Pearly Gates Plus is a '59 Model with 4-conductor cable. The '59 is an Alnico V pickup with a wind very close to that of the Pearly Gates Plus. The '59 usually comes in single conductor cable, but it can be ordered with the 4-Conductor wiring option.

What you want is a DiMarzio Tone Zone.
