Title: Sinner, anyone?
Post by: terry on March 02, 2009, 09:20:55 PM

Hello,

Does anyone use the Sinner in their Strat?  what can you tell me about this pickup?  chunky?  clarity?  tight bass?  Will it push my Marshall 2203 sufficiently so I can plug straight in and ditch my booster pedal?  :)

I play classic heavy metal (Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Yngwie, King Diamond, Ozzy, et al.)  I love that Strat sound, so I can't consider putting dreaded humbuckers in my baby....but I definitely want some hellfire balls in the bridge position.  I'm rather excited about going full-bore and getting the Sinner/Trilogy/Trilogy set.

But.....tell me about the Sinner!  :)

Many thanks,
Terry

The Sinner will do all that stuff with ease from what I gather, though I'm not the best person to comment on Strats really - can't stand them.  Give me a Tele any day, much more rawness (imo, ymmv etc.)

Overwound Sinner with a baseplate for mega sleeper single coil br00tulz.

Overwound sinner + Zn/steel base plate might be overkill. I have one of that and its extremely br00tal. Outputwise its up there with the C-Pig, its got a hell of a low end and an honest to god single coil sound, so the highs are really in your face as well.

A normal sinner, since its voiced to match the trills in the bridge (which I also have in another guitar), maybe with a base plate, should do the job.

thanks for the replies  8)

so a Sinner (stock wound) with the baseplate.....what's the response like?  is it pretty tight and chunky?  and good clarity for fast rhythms and soloing?

thanks again

Huge bass for a single coil. High output humbucker bass on the Uber-Sinner (23k). Put it this way - my base plate uber sinner hangs with my painkiller, A-Pig, C-Pig and 23k double screw pole miracle man in output and low end. And its very thick and pretty tight (not surgical like a PK or anything, but tighter than a nailbomb)
