In the end the idea of high or low output, is not important in choosing the pick-up for you. You are looking for character, response and how it handles overdriven tones. The biggest and smoothest doesn't link to output figures, and is also why there are so very many pick-ups made and so very many opinions as to which to choose.
Good luck. Sit in the shop and try as many as possible.

Hi wafer

Thanks for the reply I settled on some entwistle HV 58.

Low output 7.00 bridge and 7.4 neck.

The are really nice not to bottom endy which i think sounds crap.
