Just put some in an Epi LP for a customer.
They are indeed better than I than my previous experience indicated.
Acoustically the guitars a lot middier and quite a bit bassier than the previous one I tried them in, and they have a thick punchy low mid that didnt come out last time I tried them (presumably because the guitar didnt have it - cant pickup whats not there), they have a strong attack, quite even sounding in this guitar, and are tighter too.
I like.
Not enough to replace any of my other high output BKs with, but I like.
Lesson learned (well, revised - BKs sound very different in different guitars).
That will be all.

i aint gonna enjoy - they're not mine.
But yeah, I thought out publish my expanded and revised experience of them, since its quite different to what I heard last time.

Unlikely. Since I'd have to oust one of my other pickups, and I'm happy with them all as they are.
Besides, I dont know how well what I heard would take to being tuned through the floor (I play in drop A# with 12-64s, this was 10s in E, and no way to change that, since its not mine and I dont want to waste a set of strings on the test (and I'd have to recut the nut anyway, and recieved no instructions and have no liberties to do so with the chaps guitar)).

BKs are very responsive to the guitar they are in!
I've gone back and forth many times on Nailbombs, myself. It basically comes down to the fact that I prefer ceramic pickups for metal.

btw...Have you already been curious to test a C-NB in your rig yet ?

Mildly curious. Certainly moreso now. Like Ben I gravitate very much to ceramic bridges (with the exception of the Pig, which I have A5 and C versions of, and love both).
I may go for the C-Bomb next if I stumble on a guitar that sounds like it might sound good in it.

It would have surprised me if you said otherwise :lol:

......and.....may I ask.... in what kind of guitar would you imagine a C-NB to sound good, and why :?:

It'd need a punchy low end and strong midz, good chime to the top end but nothing too bright. I think thats what went wrong last time - acoustically bright guitar, not much going on in the lows. It'd probably go really well in my dean custom shop and I guess really well in my jackson, but those positions are taken.

a big slab of mahogany would do the trick - I'm talking Gibson Explorer here.

Yeah, that'd fly.

Ahh, it's settled - I'm swapping the magnets in my SG's Nailbombs :D

it's easy. BUY A NEW GUITAR!
