Pimped out my RG550 Genesis

I bought an RG550 Genesis in neon purple a little while back and had been longing to go a full 80’s shred style look for it. I was debating what color to use and landed on hot pink. I went with a Dimarzio DP215 Evo 2 in the bridge and DP158 Evo on the neck. The pickups sound a little muddy tho and I’m now debating on whether or not I shoulda stuck with the V7/V8 stock pups which sounded alright. I want an early 80’s crunchy thrash metal sound (like the Kill Em All guitar tone) outta my bridge. Guitar is basswood. Should I stick with the DP215 or is there another Dimarzio set that can get me closer to what I want... thoughts?

Looks killer. The Evo2 and Evo Neck should sound great in there, mud free. Have you tried to adjust the pickup height? Lower it and it should clean up and be more clear.
