Title: Ceramic madness (c bomb, painkiller, c pig)
Post by: fr33man1 on July 21, 2010, 07:08:59 AM

I'd need the help of the owner of some monster pickups (mdv youre welcome :D).

More seriously I returned my rebell yells for some holy divers as the steve stevens ones were actually too soft for my tastes. I'd like to add some little ceramic gift for my baritone explorer.

its bubinga maple ebony fretboard as always, pretty bright, sharp attack, strong mids. I got an holy diver in it and its top notch going down to drop C but I'm a machine head riffing fan so I'm often tuning it to B or sometimes lower.

What could some machine head, devildriver, parkway drive kinda riffing ? I'd like it to sound full but rich with grinding mids.

Miracle man ?? I had one once on my les paul and it was really smooth, less bass heavy than a nailbomb and not really grindy on mids. I retained it was super smooth and was not impressed.

I agree with the miracle man call on this. You can make it grindy rather than smooth very easily with amp settings, and I find it's absolutely BRUTAL like that. Especially downtuned in a baritone with bubinga/maple/wenge neck-through and ebony fretboard. Oh yes.

If I say anything other than Miracle Man now, will it make a difference? :lol:

MMs not a bad choice *shrugs*. That or the C-Bomb would be my recommendations.

Though I think the devildriver dude is using PKs, and for early machine head (BME and TMTC) I'd go for PKs.

it obviously depends on the tone of the guitar - les pauls can be quite variable.

i had miracle men in an all maple steinberger and it was pure mid-grind - sounded amazing! now i have them in a maple/graphite steinberger and you can hear a tone difference, less mids.

Well im clearing about everything since that diezel 'cr@p' amp broke as I got it...So the luthier guitar is gone somewhere else to another French guy that I hope will take care of it and make it yell.

So its solved.
