Hey Nith! I have two:

1.) A little more information would probably go a long way towards answering your question - what sort of tone you're trying to get out of that Pittbull, what you're playing now and what's working and what isn't, what else is in your rig, and a few players whose tones you really dig. Right now you've just given us a body wood - the right pickup for that body wood depends in large part on what you consider the right tone, in the first place.

2.) You also might want to give us a little more than 23 minutes to reply next time. I'm posting from work, and if I was on this board so often that I could see and reply to every post within 23 minutes, well, I wouldn't be posting from work anymore, if you know what I mean.

Welcome Awesome specs, I'm loving my BKP Nailbombs and I can't imagine getting anything other than Bareknuckles now.

Seymour Duncan SH-5 Custom would sound amazing in there.
