Title: Back again! BC Rich V Nato/Maple/Ebony
Post by: bengalstar on April 29, 2010, 05:00:58 PM

Hi Folks...back again.

I have a BC Rich IT V Jr.  woods:  Nato body (I hear it's an eastern Mahogany?  Maple neck/Ebony fretboard.
It's interesting, almost a neck thru...neck goes deep into the body, about down to the bridge pickup.  String thru body.

I have a Dimebucker in the bridge currently.  Output is good, but sounds a little thin for me.  I guess I'm looking for teh brOOtalz.  Do I even have to ask (C-Pig), or is it going to be too top endy in this wood combination? 

I guess I'm looking for "organic brOOtalz".  Would a C-Bomb work?

Still anxiously awaiting my Bomb and my Diver.  Giddy, even, with anticipation.

Thanks gents....

I think I'd stick a painkiller in there, or a C-pig.

That said, if you're after 'Organic' Bro0otalz, you might prefer to go for a normal Nailbomb.

If you're tuning down to C standard or lower, I'd stick with PK. If it's only Drop C, D standard or drop D (or E, does anyone actually use E any more?), then you might find the AlNiCo pickups give you a more organic tone, and in which case, NB or even WP.

Gosh, how very helpful I am!

:D

yah, drop C and lower is that one  (experimenting with the SiKth "bland street bloom" tuning, as well).

Miracle Man? Really?  Over a Bomb or a Pig?  Care to elaborate, good sir?
