Title: Nailbomb for me?
Post by: penta-tonic on July 22, 2008, 07:30:47 PM

First of all, hi everyone.

Im looking to grab my first set of bare knuckles to fit in to my les paul standard.
My amp is a marshall 2203x, which in run with the preamp gain at around two thirds,
boosted with either an mxr zakk overdrive or an ehx little big muff.

Styles i play in are blues, blues/rock, southern rock, stoner rock/metal.
So to the usual beginner question, which bareknuckles are for me?

Then neck pickups would ideally be more articulate/less muddy than the current burst bucker, the bridge tighter and with more output but without being too compressed.

From what ive heard of the players section im thinking a nailbomb bridge and either a mule or MQ neck.
Any other suggestions or comments?

I reckon you're spot on! The Nailbomb should suit you fine; it's a great articulate and organic sounding pickup, and whether you go for a mule or a MQ in the neck really depends on if you'd prefer a humbucker or a P90 :P
