I have two EMG sets so what is neck/bridge differences between these and power?

The Nailbomb uses alnicoV magnet, and the Cold Sweat is a ceramic magnet. Directly compared to an EMG, I think that the Miracle Man would be the closest in terms of output, the the Nailbomb will give you serious crunch as well. The Cold Sweat, theoretically, should have better "cut" than the Nailbomb, but I've not yet put my CS in yet (within the next 2 weeks, I hope -- rumour has it that my neck will ship very soon).

I see can you keep me updated when its installed? Is the NB more powerful then the CS?

Both bridge models are wound with the same gauge wire. The Nailbomb has a hotter winding but the Cold Sweat has a ceramic mag, which is more powerful than Alnico V.

To my ears, yes. But it was in two different guitars...
