Title: Best BKP's for Ibanez Prestige s5470 (metal music)
Post by: maddnotez on July 09, 2011, 08:36:28 PM
I have the S5470, it has a thin lightweight Mahogony Body, Rosewood fingerboard with a 5 piece neck. Stock it sounds ok, prety thin and no sustain whatsoever (which I think is mostly the guitars fault).

From the clips I have heard on here I liked the Painkiller for the Bridge and I think it was Cold Sweat for the neck.

I would prefer an old Devil Driver sound over Lamb of God so rule out Warpigs unless you know something I dont.

Just wondering if this is the best combo for me. I have a VHT Pitbull amp, high gain. Crunchy, Heavy and clarity is what I want. The amp itself is kind of mid rangy but sounds great. I normally do not use alot of mids.

For neck I like very warm, think Suffocation Arpeggios and solos.

Painkiller would work well. Aftermath too. Cold Sweat I would not describe as warm, rather as compressed like a Dimarzio Liquifire. You could also try a C-Bomb in the bridge.

Hi,

From the clips I have heard on here I liked the Painkiller for the Bridge and I think it was Cold Sweat for the neck.

I must say I find it difficult to go by clips since much of the final tone depends on many other variables like playing, guitar, amp, speaker cabinet and recording.

I would prefer an old Devil Driver sound over Lamb of God so rule out Warpigs unless you know something I dont.


Unfortunately I don't know Devil Driver but

this quote made me think "Miracle Man"

Since your amp is high gain I think you would be more happy with the Cold Sweat neck than the Miracle Man.
