Title: Not happy with WCR Fillmores anymore thinking of Nailbombs?
Post by: keano on November 02, 2005, 01:31:27 AM: I have a LP Custom white like Mr. Rhoads. The Fillmors sound great in the bridge for that old blues, clssic rock thing but the neck really sucks, not enogh heat or fatness.

I was thinking of the Nailbombs as a replacement. Gainer and but also heard they clean up well. Any thoughts.

Post by: keano on November 02, 2005, 02:06:26 AM: Damn Cold Sweats or Nailbomb. I listened to clips but hard when many clips are on amp simluators like POD Xt an dnot on real amps.

Is one warmer then the other?
Thicker then the other?
Which has the nicest thickest clear neck pup?
Best cleans?
Best chunk?
Best for metal and heavy classic rock?

If the quality is good enough ill post a track in the players room so you can hear the CS,Mule and Abraxas through a valve amp.
Unless someone gets there first.

If I can get that tone from my LP custom especially that neck Sykes tone heaven exists.

So, about the nailbomb, do they sound good in Les Pauls for punk/hardcore/post hardcore stuff, maybe a bit of metal? Bands like Funeral For A Friend, Underoath, Finch etc
