Title: Most brutal badass neck pickup
Post by: Feelgood on January 27, 2009, 10:38:38 PM

Looking for the most brutal, badass, balls to the wall heavy metal pickup for the neck position of my ESP Edwards. I'm happy with the bridge pickup which is what I mainly use, just looking for something out of control I can put in the neck.
This will be my second BKP purchase (First was nailbomb), Amazing work over there.  8)

No idea, but what is that guitar?   Is it some J-Rock chappie's signature model?

I don't know which sound you want to achieve but you can buy a contemporary bridge pickup and put it in the neck i guess...

Why would you want brutality in the neck position? Get rid of that JB for a C-Pig or Painkiller and put a Cold Sweat in the neck. Brutality should come from the bridge and smoothness from the neck, IMO. I thought you were selling that guitar anyway?

^Haven't been getting any offers so I'm stuck with it  :D. Trying to make the best out of it now. I'm satisfied with the bridge pickup, Need something wild in the neck just for the hell of it. "Brutality should come from the bridge and smoothness from the neck" Forgot about that lol. Guess I'll make it into a monster with a C-Warpig in the bridge. I'll try for a Cold sweat in the neck when I have some spare cash.

the cold sweat neck is a very fluid and smooth pup
tight sounding on rhythm for a neck pup, but not brutal at all
grab a painkiller neck or move the JB to the neck position and get a c-pig for the bridge
