Title: pastel shades ( original ) nailbombs and cold sweat
Post by: lepersmeesa on March 06, 2006, 09:14:34 PM: Hey, this is a reworking of an old track i wrote and decided to play around with. For anyone who has heard it before listen all the way through for the differences, there are quite a few.

I used my Ibanez RG 7321 for this with Nailbomb in the bridge and Cold Sweat in the neck.

All rhythm is nailbomb, all lead cold sweat.

As per usual recording setup is POD XT Pro, MBox, Pro Tools, and a six pack of brewski's.

Comments appreciated(Things are still slightly rough around the edges, and i know its more gain then most would dial up).

Post by: indysmith on March 06, 2006, 09:48:02 PM: Nice playing man - may i ask why you chose a cold sweat for the neck instead of another nailbomb?

Post by: lepersmeesa on March 06, 2006, 09:53:17 PM: I phoned up Tim while deciding what pickups i wanted for my seven string. I have fallen in love with the nailbombs in my other Ibanez ( both are nailbombs ) and wanted a little change for my seven. I was thinking warpigs, but finally came to the decision of the nailbomb but this time going with the cold sweat. I told Tim i wanted a Petrucci, clean sounding neck tone as i do most of my shredding on the neck pup.

I cant really say which is my favourite, they both are awesome. If you do get another set of pups try out the nailbomb cold sweat combo, really is amazing.

Thanks for the other comments, sorry Sambo, i dont know what the problem is. I would offer to send it in an email, but my internet is all screwy and had to send this to a friend to actually upload it.

The track is well worth a listen if you do get it going. Great tone.

Do you have Windows Media Player? I think you might need it to run this properly.

Lepersmeesa, that one heavy track. I wish I could shred like that, too. ;)

That's funny, I got the exact same advice from Tim. I too am a sevenstringer (ESP LTD M207) Playing a somewhat dynamic metal along the lines of bands like Opeth and dreamtheater (without the insane leads cuz I'm the only guitarist) and many more varrying from trash to mellow/emo kinda metal and prog. Rock/blues/jazz/ballad. Also in need of a screaming bridge pickups and a very nice clean bass pickup, I am wondering how they will sound if I use them both clean, with a nice little acoustic sim through a fendertwin reverb and marhall cab (all of that's in my Vox Tonelab SE). And ofcourse I can't wait to hear my own riffs through that baby, I'll be sure I'll post some stuff here.....

Post by: JamesHealey on May 06, 2006, 10:22:12 AM: im going to stick a cold sweat in the neck of my strat to get that petrucci lead tone, i've got a great sounding hand made amp that arrived yesterday really sounds like the Mk IV. the VHII i've got in the neck at the moment is great for those big jazz paf sounding chords but it doesnt work live in high gain situations as nice as i thought and it does feedback sometimes not often though.
Title: pastel shades ( original ) nailbombs and cold sweat
Post by: Crazy_Joe on May 07, 2006, 07:37:23 PM: Excellent clip there, i love that lead tone! Very Petrucci like, if thats how you spell his name! I was going to go with a Cold Sweat in the neck too.
Title: pastel shades ( original ) nailbombs and cold sweat
Post by: lepersmeesa on May 09, 2006, 10:32:20 PM: Cheers guys for the comments, glad you all enjoyed it. I really cant recommend the Cold Sweat enough, it is amazing. I love it. I will be doing alot of my leads with this pickup. :twisted:
Title: pastel shades ( original ) nailbombs and cold sweat
Post by: JamesHealey on July 07, 2006, 12:11:31 PM: Yea the cold sweat's been in my guitar for a month or so now and It still suprises me everytime I play, my friend thom also likes the Cold Sweat in the neck.. Although im starting to like his Nailbomb more than my Miracle Man for the bridge, which could mean me buying a Nailbomb.. eek.

Post by: Dan42684 on July 08, 2006, 12:52:55 AM: I love it man, great tone with the Cold Sweat, it's a much better version of the Dimarzio Air Norton 7.

Post by: n_mountain on July 09, 2006, 10:55:19 AM: Cool playing again!
Nice riffing :twisted:
How would you compare the CS neck and the NB neck?
Title: pastel shades ( original ) nailbombs and cold sweat
Post by: lepersmeesa on July 09, 2006, 12:36:20 PM: The best way i can describe it, is a lot clearer, and cleaner. Almost tubular. Your pick attack is very noticeable. While the NB is more mid orientated, ideal for sweeping. While the CS is great for fast alternate picking runs.

Not saying that they dont do the other well, just imagine that type of sound.
Title: pastel shades ( original ) nailbombs and cold sweat
Post by: n_mountain on July 09, 2006, 11:06:11 PM: Thanks for the description..
tubular, I think I know what you mean. I always think of it as hollow.... :)
Title: pastel shades ( original ) nailbombs and cold sweat
Post by: Sekhmet on July 10, 2006, 02:42:23 PM: Real nice tight riffing, and the leads just sing.

I've been looking at cold sweats and nailbombs too, seems like a combo that really works together well.
Title: pastel shades ( original ) nailbombs and cold sweat
Post by: lepersmeesa on July 13, 2006, 03:20:53 PM: I highly recommend it! If you get a chance try the two out together.
Title: pastel shades ( original ) nailbombs and cold sweat
Post by: SliderJeff on September 15, 2006, 05:08:48 AM: Dude, all I have to say is that friggin RULED! Nailbomb and Cold Sweat 7 string models are in my future. Thanks for sharing your stuff. I think this clip is going to be making appearances often in my daily playlist at work.

Later,
Jeff

Post by: DimeZakk on October 01, 2008, 11:00:37 PM: I've got a question as I am about to buy the same pickup combination for my Les Paul:
AFAIK the cold sweat is a ceramic magnet humbucker and the Nailbomb an Alnico V... so is there any problem mixing two kinds of magnets (maybe weird sound...dunno when you play both at the same time)? Do I have to order a special ceramic Nailbomb or doesn't it matter at all?

The Cold Sweat neck pickup is A5, only the Cold Sweat bridge pickup is ceramic. So a CS/NB combo is both A5, but a NB/CS combo is A5/ceramic.
