Title: Which Bkp is sweeter, singing and Velvety for the neck positiion?
Post by: With Full Distortion on September 17, 2011, 11:10:46 AM

Hey Guys... how are you?
i would like to know your different opinions on the bkp pickups.
im searching for a specific sound for the neck.
Silky, Super Singing, SUstain, Smooth  and Sweet. moderated to high output. Good Clean sound.
specifically good for sweep picking and solos in the neck position.
voice wise speaking it would have a vocal and fluidy tone to it. almost like water.. but with plenty of sustain.
i would name it WaterShed. but not because of opeth. q: p
eq wise speaking i would say...
 Bass . 5 Middles 5. Highs 8.
bass middles on 6 and high middles on 7.

Is there something like that on the bkp line?
Thanks in advance.
JP

First things that someone is going to ask (may as well be me as I'm here) are: what guitar is it for, what's it's contruction, pup layout and what bridge pup will you be mating it to?

The Miracle Man neck fits that description, though it is very hot so I wouldn't recommend pairing it with anything lower than a Painkiller in the bridge spot.

Yeah I swapped out a MM neck for a Cold Sweat. CS is *much* sweeter.

Mahogany strat type body. H-H pickup configuration Q: )
and the style is for sure extreme metal with lots of distortion.
the bridge one... i have enough time to think about but probably aftermath

Gonna be a CS. Though dunno what an Aftermath neck is like... Most of the sets work very, very well together.
