Title: cold sweat for heavy metal?
Post by: nikita on November 02, 2007, 04:31:56 PM

hello

i wanted to know how heavy the cold sweat pick ups can get in the bridge positions....i heard that they can handle the old metallica stuff but are they able to get any slayer, pandera or Avenged Sevenfold?

sorry if we're offending you nikkita, just hearing panTera, slayer, and avenged sevenfold in the same sentence makes you cringe...

Hearing those bands in any sentence or context makes me cringe.

I don't know about A7X, don't listen to any of their stuff, but for Slayer and Pantera, my personal choice would be primarily a Nailbomb, if not then maybe one of the other heavier pups like MM or Warpig.

But then I say Nailbomb to everything as I think they are bloody amazing, lol.  :D

I've got a Cold Sweat in the bridge of a Mockingbird that's tuned down to B.  It sounds really good.

is the miracle man only for the trash and death metal stuff or can you play early metallica, black sabbath, guns n roses or AC/DC with it?

iv got a schecter and i take the abraxas for the neck but im uncertain about the bridge pickup....either the cold sweat or the miracle man....

miracle man will do any type of rock well.

ok if the miracle man is able to handle all kind of rock i'll choose it

what do you think of the combination:

- bridge: Miracle man
- neck  : Abraxas

I wouldn't go for a MM if you're looking to play 'DC, Sabbath and GnR personally. Something alnico would be better suited imo.

For ACDC, Sabbath and GnR I would've thought Mules or VHII would be better suited, then boost for the metal? I believe Tim uses Mules even in Ozzmosis, and his tone is huge on the 2 Ozzmosis recordings I have :)

I dont know about guns and roses but early metallica, BS and AC/DC were boosting pafs like _tom_ said.

EDIT: just checked slash from G'n'R uses Alnico II Pafs. I also read Richard Fortis from G'n'R uses Stormy mondays from BKP!

its not that you can't, there just might be a better pickup. I'm thinking maybe a nailbomb might be good? one of the more versatile pickups...
