Much more differences this time.

I'm undecided as to which I like most.

It might be the EMG 60 :lol: (always like that pickup though).

Nailbombs really nice too.

I'm going with the HD. Its got the warmth and the articulation.

mine is NB, but PK is not bad at all...
i still have to adjust properly the mules, i got them installed today!
PiG90 was a great delusion, in this shootout... it disappeared like a muddy single coil, but it can be really better than this... at lead with distortion. i have to raise it a bit.

Yeah, the Pig90 lagged behind in these rather dramactically. Dont be too hasty to change though - a darker clean can be exactly what you need. I just like the bell-chime piano-y clean stuff most of the time, and the others pwned it for that.

Having played them in the same guitar, I like the cold sweat neck clean better than the PK. But the PK neck isnt doing what its made for here - shred! Its got a decent clean, but tearing it up is its bread and butter.

I couldn't hear much difference to be honest. Maybe it's just my laptop speakers. *shrug*

Problem is, I can hear the differences fine on all the other shootouts.

mm isnt that bad, but not on a par with the nb or painkiller (which are for some reason my faves)...

i've always heard bad things about MM's cleans, but i happen to like them!

they are indeed not bad IMO in this clip, but they dont have the character the NB for instance have..... that chimeyness....
