Title: Question about alternative to the Ceramic Nailbomb
Post by: mattc on March 29, 2013, 01:37:43 PM

I love the ceramic nail bomb I have in my 6 string.   I'd like a similar sound for my seven string, but in a more vintage-hot output.   Any suggestions?

The guitar that has the CBomb in it had a CS first.  The CS didn't have enough bass there.   My guitar with the VHII in it is a lot "hairier" than the CBomb, it's great for leads, but mushes out a little on rhythms. 

I guess I'm looking for a slightly scooped mid-output pickup.   Looking at the charts on the site, there doesn't seem to be one.

I've been thinking that I might try an Emerald set, since I have those in a different 6 and I really like them, they just not quite as aggressive as the CBomb... but maybe that comes with the output?
