Title: Which would you recommend for
Post by: Vilches3 on November 02, 2008, 04:13:07 AM
PANTERA
Crowbar
Exhorder
Megadeth
Cacophony
Death Metal like Nile and stuff
Grindcore


i was thinking either Mircacle man or ceramic warpig or ceramig nailbomb? I konw because of the pantera reference some might recommend a Dimebucker or Bill Lawrence but the thing is my guitar is very very light mahogany with a maple top and ebony board so I imagine it would be way too thin and sharp with a Lawrence or Dimebucker. Thanks for your time  :D

Rob

P.S-The guitar has a Scott Ian el diablo bridge pickup.......I like nearly everything about the pickup i just wanna enhance the lead tone and have a clearer tone, its more of a rythm pickup to my ears though its really high output.

PANTERA - NB or PK but prefferably NB
Crowbar - A-Pig
Exhorder - Dont know them
Megadeth - NB or PK
Cacophony - Dont know them
Death Metal like Nile and stuff - C-Pig for nile, but PKs are more than capable of it, and better in at least one way (superior note definition)
Grindcore - Probably C-Pig

I'd say, given all that and the rest of what you said (clarity, leads) that you want a PK.

well for the time yes eddies the best of his era like hendrix was the best in the 60's era.............jason was probably the greatest in the mid-late 80's if not paul gilbert or steve vai......just my opinion......Dimebag takes the 90's for sure

I guess to sum it up i want soething thats really clear and somewhat touch sensitive to differnet picking styles.........i want something tight that can get loose with different picking styles and some liquidy clear solos, i dont like when I have to fight to get a solo out of the guitar because of all the punchiness........so hmm, Cowboys from Hell tightness with some slugdey dirt and liquidy clear solos..........I'm thinking Miracle man, Painkiller, Cold Sweat or Nailbomb.............i have a warpig already and it seems too loose and heavy for what I'm looking for........and the guitars woods are LIGHT mahogany with a maple top, mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard...thanks for the responses guys!

what's your amp/distortion source(s)?

for now a little vox 30 watt valvetronix.......i cant get anything too loud until i move out next year.....But when I get something worthwhile its gonna be a Carvin V3 or peavey JSX probably

hmm
I think a nailbomb or diver will be better then
but if you buy a modern mesa/soldano style amp, get a cold sweat or painkiller instead
ceramics tend to work better with smooth big sounding amps
but with dry and aggressive amps, I prefer alnicos
the maple top + ebony board should be enough to compensate the picking attack

but.. I'm in love with the cold sweat... never though I was gonna like it better than the holy diver, miracle man and painkiller  :D
but for leads, harmonics and big open chords, the holy diver is a badass mofo
