Hey guys,
So after listening to a bunch of clips, I'm almost 100% sure on a ceramic warpig bridge for my washburn wm526, although i'm still open to suggestions. If I do settle for the C-Pig, what would be a good pairing for the neck? I can't really pinpoint the exact lead tone, but this video here is a good benchmark, if not really close to what i want. I'll be playing through an Invader 100 and a Rivera k412t with G12t-75's.

Thanks!

I'd use a holy diver neck for that sound through my PB, for whatever thats worth.

Thanks, i'll keep that in mind. Any opinions on a nailbomb or ceramic nailbomb in the neck? I'd like to experiment a bit.

I have only memory of the nailbomb neck to go on, and the ceramic nailbomb is a bridge model-varient. Nothing to stop you getting a neck version made, but theres no neck-c-bomb lore or experience that I know of round here to draw on. Magnet variations can be quite unpredictable: I wouldnt chance it unless youre set on it or have good reason to believe it will do what you want.
The nailbomb neck, from memory, could handle that sound, I think, *with the appropriate settings* but I think its got a bit more high mid presence than is in that tone. I think. Its been a while since I've heard one.
If you want to experiment, why not go with something you didnt plan on going with? ;) Seems that your question indicates you were thinking nailbomb already: I cant say the nailbomb neck wont do it because I dont have one to hand to test, but I do have a holy diver, and its right up that sounds street.
Oh, and welcome!

Thank you! I might give the Holy Diver a shot. It seems really smooth, maybe similar to a coldsweat?
