yo peeps
i'm going to be ordering a custom ultra-v by carvin soon and i'm thinking about ordering my first set of bks for it.
i'm eyeing the cold sweat but i'm worried it might not have enough output compared to what i want.
i'm also looking at some painkillers.
i play alot of hard rock/metal and thats primarily what this guitars basically going to be set up for.
the body/neck is mahogany. i'm looking for more bite. i'm very little concered with the bass cuz my amp is already
over-heavy in lows.
does the cold sweat have more bite than a Duncan JB?

Well I had a set of Rebel yells in a les paul custom (all mahog) and that sounded really dark and a little dull in the high register. But on Tims advice i swapped them for cold sweats and there's a massive improvement. Much more cut and clarity. They sound pretty massive, can't comment on whether they'd be heavy enough for you, but they're certainly flexible enough to do most things.

I understand the CS bridge is very bright, but with a healthy and tight low. Its my impression that its the brightest contemporary.

thanks alot
i just need it to have a little more grind and bite than a duncan jb.
it said on the description that it was more vintage sounding than any of the other contemporaries.
can someone fill me in on what vintage sounding basically is?

my friend is coming back from london with my cold sweat today :D :D :D
hope it works for my gibson sg faded
I'm looking for something ceramic, but medium hot

you won't be disappointed in the slightest. I have a cold sweat pair in my epi sg and it sounds amazing. pretty dark, but it still has a wonderful bite to it

That's interesting. When I got my first BKPs for my The Paul I was originally thinking of a Cold Sweat bridge but Tim suggested the Rebel Yell. I got the impression the CS might be too dark for all-mahog, but it seems not - I'd still like to try it at some point.
