Title: Alnico Nailbomb bridge versatility
Post by: Mr. Air on June 25, 2012, 09:00:45 PM
I wanted to show the versatility of the Nailbomb bridge so I threw down a noodling-clip. Guitar straight to amp with a TC Hall of Fame in the loop.

At 2mins till 2:45, whatever it was, niiice.
But I must say, at 4:20 till 5:20ish where were it really shined.

Thinking of buying a Gibson "The Paul" and do some body art to it. Thinking one of these would go well in it =)

The nailbomb sure loves some gain  :D If you buy a "the Paul" you must try out some nailbombs. You can always move 'em  on if you don't really fancy them, but they're really versatile (at least the bridge. I haven't played the neck model).

It sure loved that gain indeed. =)
Was thinking I'd pair it with something, perhaps a Holy Diver in neck. Ofcourse, this is a long ways down the road.
Not sure what I want in neck and what I want in bridge, thought to put the Nailbomb in neck and HD in Bridge tbh, because the Nailbomb just sounds abit too hot to me in bridge position, however this requires more research which I'm not gonna do till I actually get my hands on that The Paul, which is anywhere between 2 months and 6 months from now. (Thank god it ain't overly expensive, and the art work thats gonna be done to it costs me nuffin, when I say artwork, it's pretty much just hot metal ravaging a piece of wood, but whatever =P)

Anywyas, I gotta ask, as it sounded awefully familiar but I can't frikken place it. What was it that you played at 4:20.
Sounded to me a hell alot like Round 'n Round by Ratt, but not quite, actually better =p

At 4:20 it's the intro riff from "Nightrain" by GnR. Afterwards i noodle around with some riffage that has some similarities with the verse riff of the same song. I actually had an idea for a great riff, but just forgot about it  :?

hmm not so sure it shows great versatility, the nailbomb is a bloody brutal a5 pickup and I found it 'too much' for and too compressed for the rock tones like those you're playing, I suspect your playing would shine with a more open rock pickup like a mule or VHII. Nailbomb is just straight up metal I found. I reeeeeally want to try a VHII!
