Title: strength of bass response -MM vs PK vs CS (bridge models)
Post by: gwEm on February 21, 2008, 04:31:03 PM

can anyone comment on the strength of the bass response of each of these pickups (miracle man, painkiller, cold sweat?

i have miracle man and cold sweat bridge, but they are in very different guitars so its impossible for me to say. would people say bass response is drastically different, or just slightly?

just to give me an idea of what i might expect. considering a big pickup switch around.

I might be able to help you.

The Miracle Man has a bit more bass than the Cold Sweat, and the Painkiller a bit more than the Miracle Man.

In terms of their midrange performance, they are totally different, however. Miracle Man has a frequency peak starting in the upper mids and extending into the treble; Cold Sweat has a relatively flat midrange, with a slight depression in the lower mids. Painkiller has a frequency peak in the lower mids.

That's according to my own personal experience, so take that with a grain of salt. I don't need to tell you amp/playing style, you know all that already. PDT_008

Hope that helps.
