Title: A & B double tracking with BKPs (studio situation)
Post by: octavio_amzer on October 30, 2007, 08:04:21 AM

A & B guitars are recording double track riffs and solos

"A" guitar has Cold Sweat Neck and Nailbomb bridge humbuckers... Woods are 3 piece maple neck with mahogany body

What contemporary humbuckers would you use with "B" guitar for that "perfect" dubbed double track sound?

"B" guitar has 3 piece korina neck and korina body. Both guitars have ebony fingerboards with 10-48s tuned to Eb Standard

also... you are the only guitarist of the band

I'd have mules. smooth warm bluesy sound of them in korina would balance out the agressive bite of the nailbomb and cold sweat....

I'd use the same guitar and a different mic, speaker or eq setting.

Since Nailbombs are so pokey in the mids and have a good amount of chunk in the low end it's not an easy match.

All depends on the music too - I'm assuming its fairly heavy since you've got NB's and you're talking contemporary 'buckers.

I'd go with a Warpig set as they have lots of low mids where the NB's are more high-mids (mine are anyway).
